githubnews-feed
GitHub allows users to "watch" and "star" repositories. But neither of these buttons gives me an option to follow pushes to these repos that would appear in my news feed – GitHub homepage when I'm logged in.
In my newsfeed, I now only have pushes to my repositories and forks/stars of users I follow. I want to see if someone makes a commit to my favourite framework etc.
Nowadays, GitHub supports archiving repositories.
Archiving repositories
You can archive a repository to make it read-only for all users and indicate that it's no longer actively maintained. You can also unarchive repositories that have been archived.
...
- On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.
Under your repository name, click ⚙ Settings.
Under "Danger Zone", click Archive this repository or Unarchive this repository.
- Read the warnings.
Type the name of the repository you want to archive or unarchive.
- Click I understand the consequences, archive this repository.

Go to Github.com logged in or directly to your profile-page:

On both these pages there are filter-buttons for "Forks".

Watching is the one you should be using if you want to see activity in your news feed. You don't need to fork a project for this to work.
