GitHub Fork Status Monitor

This n8n workflow automates monitoring of your GitHub forks, detecting when they diverge from upstream repositories by comparing default branch commits. It fetches all your repositories, filters for forks, performs branch comparisons, and generates a formatted report of out-of-sync forks before sending it to Telegram.

Ideal for developers and open-source contributors maintaining multiple forks, it saves time by eliminating manual checks. Use cases include staying current on upstream changes for timely merges, tracking your contributions that are ahead, or ensuring forks remain relevant in collaborative projects.

Benefits include real-time notifications, customizable filtering (e.g., only significant divergences), and easy integration with GitHub and Telegram credentials. Setup is straightforward: provide GitHub PAT, Telegram bot token/chat ID, and owner username. Detailed instructions are in workflow notes for fine-tuning logic or formatting.
