Block that GitHub user from your feed without completely ghosting them 👻

GitHub Feed Blacklist

What is the script for?

As a team player, you work closely with your colleagues. Along the way, you’ll find reliable folks who become friends, and others who you’d rather not see again 😅. On GitHub, blocking a user might affect collaboration, and that’s not our style. We don’t mix personal feelings with work, but we also don’t want certain people popping up in our GitHub feed. It’s a problem of GitHub not distinguishing between work and personal boundaries and lacking user understanding in their content push. I’m not satisfied with their product design, so I wrote this script.

How to use it?

Note that you need to install the Tampermonkey extension first before clicking the link to install script.

Install Script

Once everything is set up, visit github.com and set up a blacklist in the developer tools console. For example:

localStorage.setItem("feed-blacklist", JSON.stringify(["username"]));

Here’s to smooth work and happy living! 🎉
