GitHub Followers Tracker

Tracking my GitHub following and un-following with notification on Telegram

Note: This is no longer being run via GitHub Actions, its run on a separate DO instance.

Checks every two hours (GitHub Actions, cron-based workflow) and notifies me on my Telgram bot.

Yeah I know this seems a bit creepy but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Create a Gist, note it's ID. This is where we will store the (old) followers list.

• Clone this repo.
• Set GIST_ID and GH_TOKEN environment variables (GitHub Personal Access Token should have gists scope).
• Install npm dependencies: npm install
• Make changes to the notify() function
• Run the script: node index

The notify() function is tailor-made for my use-case only and will surely not come into general-purpose use (it's basically a wrapper I built for accessing all my Telegram bots quickly: tg-bots).

For you to make use of it, make edits to the notify() function how so ever you want to be notified. If it's via Telegram, check their bots API out, (or this).
