HN discussionFrom hub's main developer Mislav's blog [0] > Since I personally don’t find it valuable to spend my time maintaining two separate command-line clients for GitHub, I will gradually reduce my involvement with hub to a point where it either goes into complete feature-freeze mode or finds new maintainership.

HN discussion> Hub, the previous Github CLI, was written in Go too, so I don't think this is much of a surprise. Hub was originally a collection of Ruby scripts for ±3 years [1].
