How It Works

How to Buy GitHub Watchers

Share your repo link, and real developers watch it from their own GitHub accounts.

01

Share Your Repo Link

Paste the public repository URL and set how many watchers you need. You can require account age or public repos.

02

Workers Watch It

Each worker opens the repo from their own account, clicks Watch and picks All Activity. They send a screenshot of the selected option.

03

Approve and Pay

Check the screenshots against your watcher count. Approve the valid ones and reject the rest.
