Is there a way to get changes feed to this file:
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commits/master/CHANGELOG.md
My goal is to simply know when angularjs, or any other repo I consume, has come up with a release.
Is this the way? Is there a better way?
Yes, there is a better way wich works for any repo: use the releases atom feed.
The general form is
https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/releases.atom
And the one you're looking for is available at https://github.com/angular/angular.js/releases.atom
