 1 | # GitHub-Follow-Bot
 2 | 
 3 | A bot done with python to follow users in GitHub.
 4 | 
 5 | 
 6 | ## How to use:
 7 | 
 8 | - Fill your GitHub `username` and `password` in the space provided
 9 | - Fill the person's GitHub `username` whose followers following you want to follow(That might be a little confusing). Basically, select a person(for example, take yourself), you will have some followers, for each of your follower, this bot will follow whoever they are following.
10 | - Then run the python file (It need selenium to run, so `pip install selenium`).
11 | 
12 | 
13 | ## Why I did this?
14 | 
15 | Somewhere, I read:
16 | - One in ten people you follow will follow you back.
17 | - One in hundred people you follow will star your repos.
18 | - One in thousand people you follow will fork your repos.
19 | 
20 | Might be true, might be not 🤷‍.
