Summary 🚀

A lightweight Python tool that generates RSS/Atom feeds for GitHub trending repositories, making it easy to track popular projects via any feed reader.

Architecture 🏗️

  • Fetches trending repositories from GitHub for different programming languages and time periods (daily, weekly, monthly)
  • Generates Atom feeds for each language/period combination
  • Creates an HTML interface for browsing available feeds
  • Minimal dependencies: only requests, python-dateutil, python-dotenv, and BeautifulSoup4

Why it matters 💡

  • Provides an efficient way to keep track of trending repositories without complex setups
  • Enables feed reader integration for GitHub discovery workflows
  • Demonstrates clean API integration and RSS feed generation
