Octokit is a new series of GitHub-maintained client libraries designed to facilitate interaction with the GitHub API, with two initial libraries being released. Octokit.rb, formerly known as pengwynn/octokit, has been developed by the Ruby community over several years and offers access to the GitHub API using idiomatic Ruby. Additionally, OctoKit, extracted from GitHub for Mac by the Mac team, is a Cocoa and Cocoa Touch framework that interacts with the GitHub API and is constructed using AFNetworking, Mantle, and ReactiveCocoa, with contributions from Wynn Netherland.
