This is a simple Python-based CLI application that fetches and displays the recent activity of a specified GitHub user.

Features

• Fetches recent activity of a GitHub user using the GitHub Events API.
• Displays events such as push commits, opened issues, starred repositories, and more.
• Validates that a GitHub username is provided and that the user exists.
• Option to specify a limit on the number of recent events to display.
• Error handling, including missing username, user not found and API error scenarios.
