OctoPatrol (octop command)

OctoPatrol is the command line tool for watching notifications from repositories you watch.

Motivation

Checking OSS repositories with Github Notification APIs is supported by several softwares, or Github send e-mails. Or an official Github page's navigation bar shows the unread notifications.

However, after following over 5 active repositories, notifications are so noisy to check. They overwhelms and disturbs other contacts, so you must controll expressive info.

In my case, any tool doesn't fit for this solution. So created efficient and convenient environment for catching up fresh discussions. And wished to finish off all tasks on terminal display as I could.

Use cases

• See notifications from repositories you follow
• Check received mensions from your private team
• Watch repository issues and pull-reqs separately
