Watching the repo

If you start watching this repo - you will receive many notifications about all trends in all languages. The recommended way is to selectively subscribe on issues you are interested in.

Is it better than RSS / newsletter / etc?

It's a matter of taste. Personally I found it convenient by the following reasons:

• I'm dealing with GitHub notifications anyway and trends are seamlessly integrated in my daily workflow
• I can quickly overview trends without registering somewhere and watching ads
• I can view non-english entries that are automatically translated

  • Official GitHub Explore Newsletter
