GopherWatch is a webapp for subscribing to notifications about new versions of go modules seen in a go module transparency log (sum database), e.g. https://sum.golang.org.
The default transparency log used by the Go toolchain is sum.golang.org, so published packages are likely to turn up there, though there are no guarantees modules are added to the log.
https://www.gopherwatch.org/ is a public instance running GopherWatch.
GopherWatch allows registering a new account and add/remove subscriptions to modules. For example, you can register modules of commands that you use, or your dependencies, or anything published in your organization. You can ask for an exact match, or whole-domain/path prefix matches. You can filter updates by version: whether to notify for pre-release versions.
GopherWatch periodically forwards its local state of the transparency log, matches all new/updated go module (versions) against the subscriptions, and sends out emails about changes. Since there is no real-time feed for appends to the transparency log, and we don't want to overload the service, there will be some delay in receiving notifications (typically up to 30 minutes).
To compile:
CGO_ENABLED=0 go install github.com/mjl-/gopherwatch@latest
You'll need a config file to run it:
./gopherwatch genconf >gopherwatch.conf
Possibly edit the config file. Run it:
./gopherwatch serve
