How to Find users who don't follow you back in Github

Here is a quick GitHub CLI trick to easily find users who don't follow you back (unfollowers). It fetches your following and followers lists via the GitHub API, compares them, and outputs the names of those who haven't returned the favor. Combining CLI tools with APIs for small automations like this is a great way to cut down on repetitive tasks! 😎

💻 macOS / Linux:

comm -23 \
<(gh api user/following --jq '.[].login' | sort) \
<(gh api user/followers --jq '.[].login' | sort)

🪟 Windows (PowerShell):

$following = gh api user/following --jq '.[].login' | Sort-Object
$followers = gh api user/followers --jq '.[].login' | Sort-Object

Compare-Object $following $followers | Where-Object {$_.SideIndicator -eq "<="}

# My Top VS Code Extensions I Use

I spend a lot of time coding in VS Code, and over time, I've discovered a few extensions that make my life so much easier. Here are my favorite VS Code extensions, explained in simple words:

Dependi

I use Dependi to handle my project dependencies efficiently.it supports multiple languages like Rust, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and PHP. This extension helps me add, update, and manage my libraries so I can focus more on writing code.

Month

The Month Extension helps me track and visualize my daily project work and GitHub commits. It provides a handy calendar view in the activity bar where I can see which projects I've worked on each day. Plus, it has a dedicated tab that shows my GitHub commit history, making it easier to keep track of my coding progress over time. also I wrote that extension.

Import Cost

With Import Cost, I can see the size of an imported package directly in my editor. It uses webpack to detect how big each package is, which helps me understand the impact of my imports on the overall project size.

JSON Crack

Working with JSON can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. JSON Crack turns complex JSON data into neat, visual graphs. This makes it much easier to analyze and understand the structure of my JSON files.

REST Client

I often need to test APIs directly from my editor, and REST Client does just that. This extension allows me to send HTTP requests, view responses, and even work with GraphQL queries—all within VS Code. It supports features like cURL commands, request history, and multiple authentication methods, making API testing a breeze.

Tailwind Documentation

For projects that use Tailwind CSS, the Tailwind Documentation extension is a lifesaver. It lets me instantly search Tailwind docs right within VS Code using simple keyboard shortcuts. This way, I never have to leave my editor to look up class names or usage details.

Conclusion

These extensions have truly boosted my productivity and made my coding experience smoother. Whether it’s managing dependencies, catching errors quickly, or testing APIs, each tool plays an important role in my workflow. I hope you find these recommendations helpful in making your VS Code setup even better. Happy coding!
