See what's happening on GitHub in real time (also helpful if you need to use up your API quota as quickly as possible).

ghtop provides a number of views of all current public activity from all users across the entire GitHub platform. (Note that GitHub delays all events by five minutes.)

pip install ghtop.

Run ghtop -h to view the help. There are 4 views you can choose: ghtop simple, ghtop tail, ghtop quad, or ghtop users. Each are shown and described below.

A simple dump to your console of all events as they happen.

Like simple, but removes most bots, and only includes releases, issues and PRs (open, close, and comment events). A summary of the frequency of push events is also shown at the bottom of the screen.

The same information as tail, but in a split window showing separately PRs, issues, pushes, and releases. This view does not remove bot activity.

A summary of activity for the most active current users, including bots.
