Set it up in 4 steps

1

Pick a GitHub Trending feed

All languages, or narrow it to trending Python, Rust, TypeScript, or a topic you cover.

2

Create a connector in OpenTweet

Point a connector at the trending feed. OpenTweet checks it on your schedule and picks up new repos.

3

Set your AI prompt

Tell AI how to write each tweet. One line summary, a takeaway, the repo link, and your hashtags if you want them.

4

Choose your schedule

Post a few trending repos a day, fully hands-off, or review each tweet first. You stay in control of volume.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the trending data come from?

You point an OpenTweet connector at a GitHub Trending feed. OpenTweet checks it on the schedule you set and turns new trending repos into tweets.

Can I filter by language or topic?

Yes. Use a language-specific or topic-specific trending feed, for example trending Python or trending Rust, and only those repos become tweets.

Does the AI write the tweet for me?

Yes. AI reads the repo name and description and writes a short, readable tweet with the link. You control the tone and whether it adds hashtags.

Do I need a GitHub or X developer account?

No. You connect your X account with a normal login and point the connector at a public trending feed. There is no developer application to file.

Can I review tweets before they post?

Yes. Run it fully hands-off, or use review-first mode so each tweet lands in your queue for approval.
