What it is?

It is a simple (no fancy UI) tool to fetch release information from Github with your list of FOSS Apps.
If you are a FOSS enthusiast (like myself), you might have used many apps hosted on Github. If so, this tool is for you.
Consider this like 'pip' from python, except it won't automatically download anything. It just checks for latest releases.
And you need to manually add apps by yourself.

What does it do?

  • Add entries with Github links.
  • Fetch release tag from Github, on each entry.

Why does it exist?

Most apps have their own update mechanism, which is the standard.
But, you need to open those Apps individually to trigger the update check.
After you open each one, you either go the release page, or it will automatically update itself.
This tool helps with the former. And it removes 1 tedious step.
By listing the apps, and update-check them in batch, you won't need to open the apps one by one.

What does it need to run?

  • A Windows 10 PC, with Internet Connection (otherwise, how would it connect to Github to check for updates?)
  • Microsoft Net 5 runtime, which can be downloaded from here.
  • Preferably, a computer with at least 4GB of RAM.

Additional Info

This is the first initial release. The main focus is functionality over looks.
This, however, will change as I will try to update this at least every couple months.
As this is the initial release, expect some bugs and unpolished UIs.
If bugs are found, report them in the Issues tab.
