xget

What it is

• An ultra-high-performance, secure, all-in-one acceleration engine for developer resources. It provides unified acceleration for code hosting, model and dataset hubs, package registries, container registries, AI inference providers, and more, while handling caching, retries, security headers, and protocol-specific compatibility behavior.

How it works

• It operates as a global edge runtime built on Cloudflare Workers to run close to users and upstream services.
• Supports multiple protocols: HTTP/3, Git traffic, container registry flows, and AI inference APIs, with protocol-aware handling.
• Includes a caching and retry pipeline: edge caching for compatible responses, retry logic for transient upstream failures, and request normalization.
• Implements multi-layer security headers and input validation, including timeouts (30-second request timeout).
• Provides a retry mechanism with up to 3 retries and a linear delay, and an intelligent caching strategy that differentiates between mutable metadata and immutable artifacts.
• Features a PerformanceMonitor for real-time request timing data exposed via X-Performance-Metrics headers where supported.
• Full Git protocol compatibility: supports git clone, push, pull/fetch, and submodules, with smart protocol detection and preserved Git headers.

Getting started

• Quick Start section in the README highlights deploying an evaluation instance and using URL conversion:
  • Pre-deployed Instance: xget.xi-xu.me
  • Agent Skills: npx skills add xixu-me/skills -s xget
• It also notes multi-platform integration and deployment options across Cloudflare Workers, EdgeOne, Vercel, Netlify, Deno, Docker, Podman, and various package ecosystems.

Note: The README includes extensive ecosystem integration details, but specific installation commands beyond the Quick Start snippet are not provided in the truncated content.

Getting started (commands and usage)

• Agent Skills command as shown: npx skills add xixu-me/skills -s xget
