Stop Wasting 2+ Hours Per Week Manually Checking GitHub Repos

Managing multiple GitHub repositories manually is exhausting. You're switching between tabs, checking issues, tracking PRs, updating your team—every morning, same routine. 2+ hours per week gone to manual checking.

GitHub API Monitor automates this with a lightweight Python script that delivers clean JSON metrics.

The Problem

Manual Checking = 2+ Hours/Week

Clicking through 15+ repos daily
Noting changes manually
No consistency, no history
Missing critical updates

Enterprise Tools Are Overkill
Grafana takes 1-2 days to setup. You just need data, not a dashboard.

SaaS Monitoring = €20-200/Month
Monthly fees for a simple monitoring script? No thanks.

Automated Repository Tracking for 1-100+ repos
JSON Output ready to integrate with Slack, webhooks, databases
Fully Self-Hosted — your GitHub data stays on your server
Cron-Ready — hands-off monitoring
