Where can I see a list of GitHub's newest repositories?

Question

I'm interested to see what other people publish on GitHub. From personal experience, I know how valuable the first few watchers of a new project can be.

However, I can't seem to find a way to actually discover new repositories on GitHub. Here's what I've tried:

• https://github.com/trending - Shows "trending" repositories; not what I want.
• https://github.com/topics/TAG?o=desc&s=updated - Show a list of repositories tagged with TAG, sorted by "recently updated". Closer, but still not what I want.

Where can I find a list of recently created GitHub repositories?

The solution is to use GitHub's List public events API endpoint:

#!/bin/sh

curl -sH "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/events |
jq -rc '.[] | select(.type == "CreateEvent") | ("https://github.com/" + .repo.name)'

Example output:

$ ./gittok.sh
