# :octocat: GitHub Followers Tracker

> 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)\_/¯.

## Usage

Create a Gist, note it's ID. This is where we will store the (old) followers list.

* Clone this repo.

* Set `GIST_ID` and `GH_TOKEN` environment 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](https://github.com/plibither8/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)](https://github.com/plibither8/tg-bots/blob/master/index.js#L27).
