Tracking GitHub commits using RSS

githubrss

I'm monitoring the commit log of a project my team is working on, and I was wondering whether there's any way to view the commits in an RSS/Atom reader.

I.e., is there any URL provided by GitHub that simply outputs the commit log in a format readable by an RSS/Atom reader?

You only really need to add .atom to the end of most branch views to get the corresponding RSS feed of its commits.

https://github.com/{username}/{repo}/commits/master.atom

The above will show the RSS feed for commits against the master branch. If you wanted to see commits for another branch, change accordingly:

https://github.com/{username}/{repo}/commits/{branch-name}.atom
