GitHub Unfollow Script

auto unfollow script for those you follow but not following back on GitHub !

Run With GitHub Codespaces

you can even simply do this on GitHub Codespaces

To run the script in GitHub Codespaces:

1. (optional) Fork the repository to your own GitHub account.
2. Open a GitHub Codespace:
   • If you forked the repository, open it in GitHub Codespaces. The unfollow.js file should already exist.
   • Otherwise, open any other Codespace. Create a new file named unfollow.js and paste the JavaScript code into it.
3. Open a terminal in Codespaces (View > Terminal).
4. Replace 'your_username' and 'your_token_with_correct_permission' in the script with your actual GitHub username and personal access token.
   • Get the correct token with the necessary permissions here:
     https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=user:follow&description=Unfollow+Script+Token
5. in the terminal, to install the Octokit library, run

   npm install @octokit/rest
   
6. run the script with

   node unfollow.js
   

I tested it in one run, up to 4K it can scan but will take few minutes, so better be sure you have stable connection and I did not hit the rate limit that time. Enjoy !
