To use:

• Create a GitHub personal access token with read access.

  • (I was only able to make classic tokens work with private organisation repos.)

• Create a file in the repo root named .env with the contents:

  GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xyz123xyz123

• Run:

  yarn && yarn start

• If you want the alerts to stay up until dismissed on the Mac, configure this in the Mac settings: Notifications → Application Notifications → Terminal Notifier (probably), and choose “Alerts” for the notification type.

• You might need to run brew install terminal-notifier for the notifications to work at their best.
