Ali Khokhar (GitHub handle Alishahryar1) is a software developer based in Sunnyvale, California, according to his GitHub profile, where he describes his focus as writing easily understandable code. He has built several open-source tools, most notably free-claude-code, a terminal utility that lets developers use Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding assistants for free by rerouting their API calls to free backends (e.g. NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, Ollama). The project topped GitHub Trending for multiple consecutive days in April 2026 and has accumulated more than 46,000 stars; independent coverage (a DEV Community writeup) corroborates the project's viral trajectory and notes Khokhar had little prior GitHub presence before it took off.
