I use a service called dependabot ( https://dependabot.com/ ). It
automatically creates pull requests in my repositories to upgrade
dependencies. The modern front end javascript world moves really
quickly; projects have a ton of dependencies that are updating all the
time, so there are a lot of these pull requests.
Also, the PRs it makes have a lot of info in them. Here's an example
one: https://github.com/mreishus/spades/pull/180 . If you hit the
arrows, you can see it includes a lot of text in "Changelog" and
"Commits". Now check out the list of closed PRs this project has:
https://github.com/mreishus/spades/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed
Once I got everything working with my.coding.github, my Github.org
(using orger) was huge: 5MB. I wanted to get rid of the dependabot
stuff, since it's mostly junk I'm not too interested it, and I got it
down to 130K (from 5MB) just from this commit.
Here's an example of an event I'm filtering out:
I'm looking to see if the "user" contains a "[bot]" tag in it.

Maybe this should be a config option, but I didn't know how to make them
cleanly in HPI, and I'm not sure if anyone would ever want this stuff.
