What is xo

xo is the command line for XO Cloud. Every XO Cloud call is a command, and xo sends your XO API key on each request without ever printing it. xo is separate from qq: you can use either without the other.

A space is a collection of GitHub repos: any public repo, such as Flask or Requests, next to your own. xo creates the space, keeps each repo in it at a branch, tag or commit, and invites others to a copy of it, so a team works on the same set of repos.

xo create project https://github.com/pallets/flask   # any GitHub repo
xo connect flask web                                 # into your space web
xo share space:web alex                              # invites alex to a copy

With xo you:

• create spaces on XO Cloud, such as a Claude Code, Codex or OpenClaw space, or a space on the quirq hub (or GitHub) made from a folder of your repos;
• keep projects in a space: your GitHub repos, each at a branch, tag or commit, cloned and pushed with your own git;
• share a space or a project with another XO user, who accepts it into their own spaces.

One login, three services

One xo login logs you in to all three. xo status shows each one and whether you are logged in.

When the xo server keeps a quirq hub, xo login also links the hub's client, spacehub, and xo status adds a hub line. The hub is where a folder space goes, and where a space's xo update and xo sync push, while GitHub stays where the work ends up. xo sh runs spacehub there, and xo gh runs gh (the hub).

xo keeps your keys only on your machine, and the xo server stores none. Your XO key is still sent to the xo server and to XO Cloud on every call, and a create copies it into the new space.
