This repo is a dead simple script that automatically follows people. I have this configured so that it follows back people that follow you, and follows people that star or contribute to repos you specify.

You need to create a github token for yourself that has user:follow permissions. Drop this token in a file called TOKEN.

Everything is driven from a configuration file called config.json. Its structure is:

{ # My username "me": "wabscale", # Repos that will be inspected for stargazers and contributors "repos": ["AnubisLMS/Anubis"], # Really cool people that will have their followers followed "cool_people": ["synoet"] }

I have this running in a cronjob on one of my severs.
