## Overview
This Python script automates the process of unfollowing users on GitHub. It uses the GitHub API to interact with your account, fetch the last 200 users (or a specified limit) you are following, and unfollow them one by one. The script is designed to help you quickly manage your following list on GitHub.
## Features
- Automatically unfollows the last 200 users (or a specified limit) you're following on GitHub.
- Uses GitHub API for interaction with your account.
- Implements rate limiting with a 1-second delay between each unfollow request to avoid hitting GitHub's API rate limits.
- Easily customizable to change the number of users to unfollow or add extra features.
-Logs unfollowed Users
## Prerequisites

- `requests` library
### Install Python Dependencies
You can install the required `requests` library using pip:
```bash
pip install requests
```
## Configuration
Before running the script, you'll need to configure it with your GitHub account information.
### Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token:
