title: GitHub Notifications 101
|
|

|
|
body:
|
|
|
|
Once you start contributing to BeeWare, GitHub is going to start notifying you about things.
|
|
|
|
This is a good thing! But it can get overwhelming, so here are some tips to help you battle the deluge.
|
|
|
|
- If you prefer email notifications only, disable the "Web" notifications.
|
|
|
|
- If you prefer not to get email notifications, disable the "Email" notifications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you do prefer email notifications, there are a bunch of ways you can handle things.
|
|
|
|
Repo settings
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Each repo has a number of notification settings:
|
|
|
|
- Watching - you get notifications for __everything__. Any issue, any Pull Request, any comment. This is helpful if you really really super duper care about a repo
|
|
|
|
- Not Watching - you will only get notifications if you're mentioned, or when you're participating (say, on your own Pull Request)
|
|
|
|
- Ignoring - never ever ever be notified.
|
|
|
|
You can check what repos you're watching across all of GitHub from the `watching page <https://github.com/watching>`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
Email filters
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
GitHub emails are rich in information that can help you filter out what you care about and what you don't.
|
|
|
|
Emails will have the subject line of repo in question
|
|
|
|
- For example, ``[beeware/batavia] Add a new function`` would be a notification from the repo Batavia
|
|
|
|
If you're mentioned by name
|
|
|
|
- the email will be cc'd to ``mention@noreply.github.com``
|
|
|
|
- the email will include the phrase ``You are receiving this because you were mentioned.``
|
|
|
|
If you're only subscribed to a repo
|
|
|
|
- the email will be cc'd to ``subscribed@noreply.github.com``
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ssshhhhhh
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
If you want to mute a specific thread, you can click the 'Unsubscribe' button on any issue or pull request.
|
|
|
|
If you get email, you can click on the 'Mute this thread'
|

GitHub has a bunch of resources to help you out with notifications.

|
|
- `Managing Notifications <https://help.github.com/articles/managing-notifications/>`_
