schollz/croc

`schollz/croc` is a mature Go CLI for secure computer-to-computer file and folder transfer. It is actively maintained, popular, and designed around relay-based transfers with end-to-end encryption, cross-platform support, transfer resume, and proxy use. For fork interest, the repo looks most relevant if you care about networked transfer tooling, packaging/distribution, or security-focused CLI behavior.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this older legacy branch or want to revive it as a custom fork. The fork looks materially behind and is better treated as a historical snapshot than a modern adoption candidate.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this older snapshot. This fork does not show added capabilities and is materially behind on maintenance, so it is mainly useful as a frozen reference copy rather than a better production choice.

Prefer upstream unless you explicitly need this older snapshot; the fork adds no visible functionality and is materially behind on fixes, flags, and installation improvements.

Choose this fork only if you need its packaging/build behavior. If you want the latest croc features, fixes, and security updates, upstream is the better default.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically want this fork’s older experimental crypto/packaging changes and are prepared to maintain a heavily diverged codebase. For general file transfer use, the fork looks too stale and too far behind to be a safe default.

Prefer upstream unless you explicitly need this fork's older Windows/customization work; otherwise it is too stale and diverged to be a low-risk adoption choice.

Prefer upstream unless Windows 7 compatibility is the main requirement. This fork looks like a narrow, README-level adaptation with little evidence of functional expansion, so it is best for legacy Windows users or anyone who wants a minimal Win7-branded variant of croc.

Choose upstream instead unless you specifically need this fork's namespace; it has no added features and is behind upstream on recent fixes and CLI improvements.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this exact mirror or intend to build your own changes on top of it. For normal adoption, the fork offers no clear benefits and is behind on fixes and features.

Choose upstream unless you specifically need this exact snapshot. This fork offers no added capability, while missing several recent upstream fixes and improvements.
