relore
Hugging Face's open-source repository-memory server that lets coding agents query GitHub issue/PR history alongside a working clone.
Overview
Hugging Face released relore on September 21, 2026, an Apache 2.0-licensed tool that indexes a repository's GitHub issue, pull-request, and comment history so coding agents can connect past decisions to current code. It keeps a working clone beside the history index and serves both over one HTTP API, distinguishing maintainer decisions from contributor claims and automated comments rather than treating all evidence equally, and excludes machine-generated content from default search results. It ships specialized commands including `inflight` (in-progress fixes), `thread` (discussion access), `why` (line-origin explanations via git blame and reviews), and code-browsing verbs like `defs` and `copies`. Queries run locally; only ingestion contacts GitHub. It already runs internally across several Hugging Face projects, including Transformers.
