Follow changes in a file on Github

Sometimes, I want to watch for changes in a file on Github.

A CODEOWNERS file works OK to alert someone of pull requests (upcoming changes), but it isn’t really an option for folks who aren’t part of the development team.

I found out recently that you can do this via Github’s RSS/Atom feeds!

To watch the file README.rst on the main branch of https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython, use the RSS feed: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/commits/main/README.rst.atom

Thanks, Jake!

I would love for a way to extend this and be alerted to public pull requests that affect that file. Let me know if you have any ideas!
