Choosing the delivery method for your notifications
You can receive your notifications on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance or have them delivered through your email client.
For personal accounts, notification emails are automatically sent to your default notification email.
You'll only receive email notifications if outbound email support is enabled on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. For more information, contact your site administrator.
