You can also just subscribe to commits via RSS.

Yes, you can. But that's not as granular as watching for changes on one or more specific files. The atom feed provided by GitHub provides the commit message, author, thumbnail, and date only.

On GH itself or via OP link?

Oh GH. e.g. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master.atom

Thanks :)
