Maybe Github Actions?

If I am not badly wrong, you're running the script on your own computer. But what about at nights, or you had to reboot your computer for maintainance? Github Action is a better platfrom for such automated scripts, isn't it?

Everything is a little simpler, this script is just running on my server 🤓

If you want faster updates, you'll probably be better off with a serverless function and GitHub webhook as I wrote in my blog. I also left a small piece of demo Lambda code in my repository iBug/This-Repo-Has-N-Stars which you can take for reference. In my experiences, this approach takes just around 1 second to update the repo name (and description if also supplied).

AWS offers perpetual Free Tier for Lambda and 12-month Free Tier for API Gateway. Alternatively, Netlify also offers perpetual free serverless functions. Both of them are more than enough to get you started.

Wow, I think the idea is charming. I also implemented it in this repo. May be it is the simplest one? I also collect the above implementations into README.

Edit: sadly I found that unstar does not trigger a watch event for GitHub Actions. 😢
