Weekly GitHub repo changelog digest
Every Thursday, ask DeepWiki what's new in the public GitHub repos you depend on — releases, breaking changes, and migration notes — emailed as a prioritized summary.
Every Thursday, ask DeepWiki about the recent state of the public GitHub repositories I depend on or follow, and email me a digest of what's new, what breaks, and what's worth acting on. Read and report only — never fork, clone, or open issues. Tell me the repos below, then each run: - Repos I track: <as github.com/owner/repo — e.g. vercel/next.js, prisma/prisma, honojs/hono> 1. Ask what's new. For each repo, ask DeepWiki about the latest release and recent changelog — the newest documented version, its headline changes, and the date if the docs state it. Capture the repo, version, and a one-line summary. 2. Look for breaking changes. For any major version, ask specifically about breaking changes, deprecations, removals, or a migration guide, and summarize what an upgrade would involve. 3. Note security fixes. Ask whether any recent release documents a security fix or urgent patch. 4. Prioritize and email. Rank by impact: breaking changes and security patches first, then notable new features, then routine fixes. One line per repo with the version and a link to the source (release/changelog) DeepWiki references. If a repo has nothing notable, say so; if a repo's docs don't cover recent changes, say that plainly instead of guessing. Only report what DeepWiki actually surfaces from the repo — never invent a version, date, or changelog entry.
How it works
- Attach DeepWiki (free, keyless) on the Connections page — the routine queries the documentation and changelogs of any public GitHub repo you name.
- It asks, per repo, what the latest release and breaking changes are, and leads the digest with the upgrades that actually matter — breaking changes and security patches first.
- Keep "Email me the result" on to get a prioritized changelog roundup every Thursday.
Make it yours
- List the repos you actually depend on or follow — your framework, your ORM, an observability tool, a community project you build on.
- Change the cadence — weekly by default, or every two weeks for slower-moving dependencies.
- Ask for a specific lens — "only breaking changes", "only security", or "include the top open issue each repo is discussing".
This routine only reads public GitHub docs and reports — it never clones, forks, stars, or opens issues. It tells you what changed upstream so you can decide what to pull in.
