Question - How to configure Github to review updates on new releases - from repositories you don’t own

It seems that the GitHub node in n8n only runs commands or checks on repos that you own?

I need a node to check whenever there is a new update from a public Github repository release.

Hi @ansred, to read releases from public GitHub repositories you could just use the RSS feed provided by GitHub. For example the release feed URL for GitHub - goauthentik/authentik: The authentication glue you need. would be https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/releases.atom:

You can process this feed in the default RSS Read node and build your own polling logic. Alternatively, consider using the community trigger node @Jon has built: GitHub - Joffcom/n8n-nodes-rss-feed-trigger. Or add the release feed URL to your feed reader to keep all your feeds in one place (for Miniflux for example another community node exists).
