How does this work? There are a few other solutions to this problem at https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/50 https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/50

  It looks like you add yourself to an issue thread where a comment is made every time a new repository is made?

  - You create an issue with the link of the organisation - Using GitHub webhook, an event is triggered to see if the org is already being followed - If not, a record is created (organisation name, public repo count, issue id etc) - Every 6 hour, (for all organisations) a cron job checks if the org has any extra public repositories - In case of any new repository, a comment is created with the links to the new repositories

    Do you plan to publish the source code of your cron script and related stuff? I was expecting to see it under the same GitHub organization but found nothing.

  From the issue you linked: > There is no point in posting "+1" here, this is an unofficial repo. Send an email to support@github.com instead To avoid more useless "+1" comments in the issue ;)

    I thought everyone agreed that :thumbsup: on the issue replaced the +1. Also the Github staff does read those issues.

  Author here, this issue was the inspiration, though I could not find a working solution in it. As referred in the thread, GitHub has stopped supporting that AJAX hack. I am planning to make it more accessible, please follow the follow-github-organisation[1] for updates. Pun intended. Let me know if you have any other feedback.

I made https://cantor.bubbleapps.io/ https://cantor.bubbleapps.io/ to address the same issue. It emails you when an an organization you follow creates a new repo.

Is there a way to get Atom feeds of a single issue in Github?
