Overview

GitHub does not provide a notification service to update users when a tool is updated / a new Release has been published.

RepoVersionChecker (RVC) provides a solution by scraping online data from GitHub Repositories with minimal effort and a simple, comprehensive Scan Logging system.

repos = {
