What is github-unfollower?

github-unfollower is a simple Python script that does exactly what the name says: it automatically unfollows people on GitHub who don't follow you back. Think of it as a cleanup tool for your GitHub network. Over time, you might follow a lot of people for various reasons, and this script helps trim that list down to just your mutual connections. To use it, you need a GitHub account and a basic Python setup. The script relies on a helper library called PyGithub, which lets Python talk to GitHub directly. You install that library, add your GitHub login details to the script, and run it. The script then goes through your following list, checks each person to see if they also follow you, and if they don't, it unfollows them. This tool is for GitHub users who care about keeping their follower-to-following ratio tidy or who simply want to declutter their network feed. For example, if you followed a bunch of people during a hackathon or open-source event and never interacted with them again, this script clears them out in one pass instead of making you click unfollow dozens of times manually. The README is very sparse, so it doesn't go into detail about safety, authentication methods, or whether GitHub might rate-limit the process. That said, since it only does one focused task, it's a lightweight utility for anyone who wants a quick network reset without the manual clicking.
