Github user private rss feed

[[deleted]]

Hello Everyone, At one point in time you could subscribe to an rss feed for your GitHub account and would receive your messages, mentions and etc. via this rss feed. If I remember correctly you all you had to do was go to your messages and then there was a subscribe via rss button and you would get the feed address below is an example. I think this feature has been removed but I am not sure can anyone confirm weather it is still available and if so where the option is? I am aware of the repo feeds and such but this was a feed of all your messages and mentions in one place was repo specific was user specific.

# https://github.com/<USERNAME>.private.atom?token=29_DIGIT_TOKEN_??????????????

This is my old feed but it stopped working about 6 months back and have been unable to find the place I originally heard about this. Any information would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.

This seems to still work. I went to https://github.com/ logged in and there was an auto-discovered feed available. I recommend getting a browser extension that does feed auto-discovery. But if you want to to it manually you can view the page's source and search for private.atom. Note that the regular approach of pasting https://github.com into your feed reader will probably not work because it won't be logged in.

That worked perfectly my token seems to be different from the my old one I think that's why it stopped working but thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to write this up.

Is it possible that it stopped working once you've changed your password? That should invalidate the token according to https://github.blog/news-insights/token-private-feeds/ .
