# Github Autofollow
This repo is a dead simple script that automatically follows people. I have this configured so that it follows back people that follow you, and follows people that star or contribute to repos you specify.
## Setup
#### Github Token
You need to create a github token for yourself that has `user:follow` permissions. Drop this token in a file called `TOKEN`.
#### Configuration
Everything is driven from a configuration file called `config.json`. Its structure is:
```yaml
{
# My username
"me": "wabscale",
# Repos that will be inspected for stargazers and contributors
"repos": ["AnubisLMS/Anubis"],
# Really cool people that will have their followers followed
"cool_people": ["synoet"]
}
```
## Running
I have this running in a cronjob on one of my severs.
```text
0 0 * * * python3.10 /path/to/autofollow.py
```
