# GitHub Unsubscribe

```

Usage: ghu [options] < file

Parse stdin as an email for any List-Unsubscribe header containing a URL. Visit

that URL using curl, thereby unsubscribing you from the thread.

Options:

  -o, --open    Open the unsubscribe link with $BROWSER, not curl

  -p, --print   Print the unsubscribe link, do not visit it

```

The only thing GitHub-specific is that after we `curl` the URL, we check the

HTML response for a bit of text to show that you have been unsubscribed. Beyond

that, this tool could be used on any email containing a List-Unsubscribe header

with a URL.

## Installation

ghu is available in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ghu).

Non-Arch users can clone the repo and either

- Always invoke `/full/path/to/bin/ghu`, or

- Use `make install`, the default prefix is `/usr/local`

## Usage with Mutt

```

# .muttrc

macro index,pager ,u "\

  set my_old_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode nopipe_decode\

  ghu\

  set pipe_decode=\$my_old_pipe_decode\

  " \

  "Unsubscribe from any email with a List-Unsubscribe header"

```
