GitHub Alerts
Alerts for every repository you follow. New release. New releases are typically announced within a few minutes.
Arclo watches a repository and posts an announcement when something new appears. The engine, the message editor, the filter rules and the behavior options are the same on every platform. See Social Alerts for those. This page covers what is specific to GitHub.
Adding a repository
- GitHub repository
- Paste owner/repo or the github.com URL. For example:
vercel/next.js. - Channel
- Where the alert is posted. A forum channel makes each alert its own thread.
