Hi. I was wondering if there is some kind of activity monitor for github. Let me explain;

Becouse we (or at least me) use alot of FOSS projects that can suddenly die (and thus not get security updates anymore) this can be a problem. Is there some kind of app or service where I can add projects, and when there isn’t a new commit in X amount of time, I get notified?

Sorry for my bad English, but thanks for your help :sweat_smile:

Tbh you don’t need an app for this. Just have a cronjob run git pull and check if the last commit was over a month ago. It can be done in a couple lines of bash in your crontab

Doesn’t GitHub already have the ability to send email as notifications for certain activities/events?
