OfficialCodeVoyage/GitHub_Follower_Bot_Automated — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple Python GitHub follower bot that automatically follows back anyone who follows my account. I want it to use my GitHub username and personal access token from a local .env file, then check my followers, skip people I already followed, and keep going until everyone has been processed.

Please make it easy to run on my computer, but also set it up so I can run it automatically with GitHub Actions on a schedule. I want basic logging so I can see what happened, plus simple text files that remember who was already followed, the last person checked, and a running counter across multiple runs. Also include a second script that tells me how many followers I have and how many follow actions I can still make before hitting GitHub API rate limits.

Keep the setup beginner friendly and add clear instructions in the README for both local use and GitHub Actions. If anything is outdated, look up the current GitHub API and Actions docs online.
