Post Description

The idea came from noticing when reading tech news / comments and thinking "someone should build that".

So I wanted to automate this and track daily - I.e. come up with interesting ideas, provide a scoring and reasoning based on articles and discussions in the tech space.

CLI Rust tool gitorg helps manage GitHub orgs

Gives you org-level operations that you'd otherwise script: auth, list orgs, repo sorting (stars/activity/staleness), stale-repo finder, cross-org issues and a dashboard — with JSON output for easy automation. Nothing revolutionary here, but the focused command set, XDG-config support and explicit token scopes make it a practical, scriptable tool for keeping repo hygiene under control.
