About notifications in GitHub Desktop

GitHub Desktop will show a system notification for events that occur in the currently selected repository. Notifications will be shown when:

  • Pull request checks have failed.
  • A pull request review is left with a comment, approval, or requested changes.

Clicking the notification will switch application focus to GitHub Desktop and provide more detailed information.

Notifications about pull request check failures

When changes are made to a pull request branch, you will receive a system notification if the checks fail.

Clicking the notification will display a dialog with details about the checks. Once you've reviewed why the checks have failed, you can re-run the checks, or quickly switch to the pull request branch to get started on fixing the errors. For more information, see "Viewing and re-running checks in GitHub Desktop."

Notifications for pull request reviews

GitHub Desktop will surface a system notification when a teammate has approved, commented, or requested changes in your pull request. See "About pull request reviews" for more information on pull request reviews.

Clicking the notification will switch application focus to GitHub Desktop and provide more context for the pull request review comment.
