Tracking my GitHub following and un-following with notifications on Telegram (why not lol)
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_IDandGH_TOKENenvironment 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).
