GithubManager v1.0.3


What is this?

A personal GitHub social management desktop tool for Windows. Built in C# WinForms on .NET 10.
Gives you full control over your GitHub social presence from a single app — no browser required.


Download

GithubManager.exe — standalone executable, no install required, just run it.

Requires Windows 10 or later. .NET 10 runtime is bundled — nothing else to install.

On first launch you will be prompted for a GitHub Personal Access Token.
Generate one at github.com/settings/tokens (classic) with user:follow and public_repo scopes.


What's new in v1.0.1

Never Follow List

  • New blacklist on the Follow Diff tab
  • Add any user to Never Follow — they are immediately unfollowed and permanently skipped by the crawler
  • Persists across sessions in %AppData%\GithubManager\never_follow_{username}.json

Sortable Following Since Column

  • Click the Following Since column header on Follow Diff to sort by days
  • Default sort: longest ignored at top — instantly see who's been sitting in your follow list the longest without following back
  • Numeric sort (not alphabetical) — accurate day-based ordering

Pagination Deduplication Fix

  • GitHub's API can return the same user across consecutive pages when the list changes mid-fetch
  • Duplicate entries on Follow Diff are now filtered before display

What's included

Overview Tab

  • Live follower and following counts
  • API rate limit display
  • Change token without restarting

Follow Diff Tab

  • Side-by-side view of who doesn't follow you back vs who you haven't followed back
  • Sortable Following Since column — see who's ignored you longest
  • Bulk follow / unfollow with throttling and cancel support
  • Keep List — protect accounts you never want to unfollow
  • Never Follow List — blacklist + auto-unfollow, crawler always skips these

Follow Crawler Tab

  • Pull candidate accounts from any target user's followers or following list
  • Validate any target account before pulling — profile photo, stats, quality assessment
  • Quality filter — skip low-repo or bot-ratio accounts automatically
  • Candidates stream in live as pages load
  • Randomized follow intervals with countdown timer
  • Configurable daily cap
  • Never Follow list checked before queuing — no re-following blacklisted accounts
  • Export candidate queue and follow log to file

Auto Follow-Back Tab

  • Auto-follows anyone who followed you that you haven't followed back
  • Run Once Now for immediate execution

Profile Preview Tab

  • No telemetry, no external connections except the official GitHub API

Known Limitations

  • Galaxy Brain and YOLO achievements cannot be verified via REST API — marked as manual check
  • Star-Back caps at top 100 repos per follower to stay within rate limits
  • Profile Preview shows public view only — not authenticated as your account
