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 Treat that URL like a password: do not publish it or add it to a public configuration file.
