Xget: Unlock Ultimate Speed for Your Development Workflow
In a fast‑moving dev environment, every second counts. Whether cloning repositories, installing dependencies, pulling container images, or interacting with AI models, latency slows you down. Xget changes that by providing a high‑performance, secure, and unified acceleration engine for developer resources.
Try It Now
Use the public instance xget.xi-xu.me—no deployment required.
Why Xget
- Extreme performance: Built on Cloudflare’s global edge, HTTP/3, and intelligent routing with parallel slicing for large files.
- Unified multi‑platform support: GitHub/GitLab, Hugging Face and AI inference APIs, npm/PyPI and other package managers—all through one entry point.
- Enterprise‑grade security: Strict security headers, method whitelisting, path length limits, and input sanitization to defend against clickjacking, XSS, and traversal attacks.
- Full Git protocol compatibility: Acceleration for
clone,push,pull, including Git LFS. - Robust architecture: Smart retries, edge‑aware caching, and runtime monitoring for high availability.
- Rich ecosystem: Use the Xget Now browser extension for automatic URL redirection; works with wget, cURL, aria2, and CI/CD.
Common Use Cases
1. Repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Codeberg, AOSP)
Replace URLs to accelerate clones:
git clone https://xget.xi-xu.me/gh/microsoft/vscode.git
Global config:
git config --global url."https://xget.xi-xu.me/gh/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
git config --global url."https://xget.xi-xu.me/gl/".insteadOf "https://gitlab.com/"
2. Package Managers (npm, PyPI, conda, Maven, Gradle)
Speed up installs:
npm config set registry https://xget.xi-xu.me/npm/
pip config set global.index-url https://xget.xi-xu.me/pypi/simple/
3. AI/ML (Hugging Face, Inference APIs)
Use Xget endpoints for faster downloads and more reliable API calls:
import os
os.environ['HF_ENDPOINT'] = 'https://xget.xi-xu.me/hf'
4. Container Images (Quay, GCR, GHCR)
Configure Docker mirrors or reference accelerated registries directly.
The Big Picture
Xget unifies performance, compatibility, and security into a single entry point, turning slow, fragile workflows into smooth, predictable ones.
