Git Flow vs go-git: What are the differences?

Developers describe Git Flow as "A set of git extensions to provide high-level repository operations". It provides excellent command line help and output. It is a merge based solution. It doesn't rebase feature branches. On the other hand, go-git is detailed as "*Low-level and extensible Git client library in Go *". A low level and highly extensible git client library for reading repositories from git servers. It is written in Go from scratch, without any C dependencies.

Git Flow and go-git can be categorized as "Git" tools.

Git Flow and go-git are both open source tools. It seems that go-git with 4.27K GitHub stars and 447 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Git Flow with 1.92K GitHub stars and 463 GitHub forks.
