# CLI tools: GitHub trend and outlook to 2032

On TutorHero's Everything Index (September 2026), CLI tools is growing on GitHub: 10.7 of every 10,000 new public repos carried it over the last three months, about 10.1k new repos a month, 3.9x its share a year earlier. TutorHero's 12-month forecast (damped growth, beat a flat guess on past GitHub lines) says rising (+54%). By the end of 2032, past GitHub lines in the same state ended between 0.01x and 2.5x of where they started, median 0.54x: a base rate, not a prediction of this line. In the 4 weeks to 2026-10-18, 16.1k new repos carried it, +23% against the typical tag. On Hacker News, about 100 stories a month carry it in the title (-5% share of HN in a year). Compared with the typical trend it is talk and building in step. It sits in the Developer tools megatrend. New stars on its tracked repos: 42.9k a month (+40% share in a year). Not investment advice.
