RSS feeds for GitHub releases, tags, and activity
GitHub exposes several timelines as Atom feeds. I use them to follow releases, fixes, and new features without repeatedly checking repository pages.
Replace the placeholders in these URLs with a repository owner, repository name, or username:
/* Repo releases */
https://github.com/:owner/:repo/releases.atom
/* Repo commits */
https://github.com/:owner/:repo/commits.atom
/* Private feed (You can find Subscribe to your news feed in dashboard page after login) */
https://github.com/:user.private.atom?token=:secret
/* Repo tags */
https://github.com/:user/:repo/tags.atom
/* User activity */
https://github.com/:user.atom
The private feed contains a secret token. Treat that URL like a password: do not publish it or add it to a public configuration file.
