Newsboat

Using newsboat to keep track of github repo updates…

About five years ago I posted about using the TUI RSS reader newsboat to follow updates to repos on github. Now that I’ve resurrected my blog, I thought I’d repost it.

This also gives me a chance to try out using a mastodon thread as a comment section.

I was recently looking for a handy way to keep track of updates to Github projects I use, and one that didn’t involve me getting bunches of email. I hit on what I think is a pretty handy way to do it. I already use the terminal RSS client newsboat to do most of my news reading and stuff so why not press it into service monitoring Github projects too?
