Hadn't checked the Firefox extension yet. The link to the Chrome extension works. However, don't bother: follow-github-organisation/fghx#4 (comment)

When it takes you to a Yahoo news website because it's probably malware for Windows that can't affect you because you run Linux.

Hmm...

Dawm - created an account especially to follow some cool Gitproject so that I don't loose sights. Configured 2FA and everything to find out you cannot follow anything? So I have to keep using notepad and agenda reminders to manually check stuff out? :(

There is now a function to follow organizations GitHub built in!

@rpaladin

Indeed, a very useful function. I wish Github had rolled it out sooner though. It would have saved me a great deal of time.
