This project might be useful for people who want to have the most recent version of a file from GitHub repositories. For instance, I wanted to create an app for reading memory, and I wasn't bothered manually updating a file with the addresses when the new update is out.
There is an alternative GUI version of the aforementioned console application which works perfectly, except the part with buttons "update" and "delete". Due to lack of a good library, I was unable to render these buttons directly in the cells of the table. Therefore I wouldn't recommend to use it.
This app stores your token locally so your token won't be exposed to anyone.
You can browse code and figure it out yourself.
Your token is saved in "data/credentials.env" which is located in the directory with scripts.
GitHub has restricted number of requests per hour, and for an unauthorized user this amount is quite low,
therefore, the authentication is needed.
GitHub link should look like this: "https://github.com/revel111/GithubDownloader/blob/master/main.py".
You can find them in the "downloaded" directory which is located in the directory with scripts or in a directory which you specified.
In the repository you can find three scripts:
- main.py - is used for configuring your tracked files and authentication process.
- gui.py - is the GUI version of the console applicaiton.
- auto_updater.py - is used for running on the background and once per 15 minutes try to update tracked files if a new version is out.

In the "installation" directory you can find two scripts: for Windows and for Linux respectively.
These scripts download the necessary libraries and add "auto_updater.py" to the startup.
Uninstallation deletes script from the startup.
This app was tested on Windows 10 and Lubuntu 24.04.
The project is considered to be finished.
You can create an issue here. I will try to respond to you as soon as possible.
