Follow GitHub Users to get notified on their public activities & Watch GitHub Repos to get notified on public releases
Note:
- Check out the status of the services here. And do subscribe to stay in the loop with new incidences such as critical system failure or scheduled maintenance as they would be reported over there.
- Check out the project's changelog to know more on how the project is progressing.
- Only 1v1 conversations are possible with this WhatsApp bot because following any particular GitHub User or watching any particular GitHub repo is a personal choice. So by having this bot on a Whatapp group conversation doesn't make any sense. But still, if WhatsApp users want to add this bot to WhatsApp groups then you can open a Discussion in this repo. And will decide what to do based on the votes.
Want to follow your favorite GitHub Users? So you can stay updated with their GitHub public activities. Or you just want to watch the open-source GitHub repositories so, whenever a new release is published, you get notified, then this project is a gem for you. Now you can get the direct updates right into your WhatsApp, so you don't miss even a single public activity. Check out the Getting Started section right now to set the GitHub Public Activities & Releases Notifier for WhatsApp.
