+ [2019-09-08T19:25:35Z] jhass so yeah, polling indeed. you should be able to fetch the dates of the releases or at least their corresponding tags, so all you need to store is the previous fetch date and then check if the release date is newer. Well, if you fetch it from the tags, the tag may have been created well before the release I guess, so that may be a special case to handle, if there's no creation date for the release

is there a way to use api to detect new releases on public projects without having an account ?
+ [2019-09-09T04:51:28Z] pikajude hello. i'm using the `hub` tool to interact with github, but it asks for my username and password whenever i push to my repo, even though ~/.config/hub is populated
+ [2019-09-09T04:52:02Z] pikajude what could be the cause?
+ [2019-09-09T04:53:03Z] R2robot do you have ssh keys setup on github?
+ [2019-09-09T04:59:26Z] pikajude no, i use tokens + https
+ [2019-09-09T04:59:34Z] pikajude if i copy the token out of ~/.config/hub and use that at the password prompt it gives me then it works
