Follow organizations on GitHub
For some reason, GitHub does not feature any button for following an organization!
They all be like: "You should not want to do that." - Which is a bit silly, because I apparently want to do that.
So here's how:
Simply open a Javascript console (while logged in to GitHub of course) and execute:
$.post("https://github.com/users/follow?target=organizationName");Interesting, after you did this, you can even see the organization in your "Following" list, and you appear in the organizations "Follower" list. Hope they don't remove this feature ever...

javascript:$.post("https://github.com/users/follow?target="+$('.js-username').data('name')); void 0Thanks for sharing! Btw, Github has many more undocumented / not officially supported features. Here is an example of good screencast about it: http://confreaks.com/videos/1229-aloharuby2012-git-and-github-secrets
The hack doesn't work anymore, but organizations you followed before are still followed. Is there are workaround to make the hack work again?
