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 filters and the behaviour 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.
What it announces
| Event | On by default |
