Types of notifications

delivers two kinds of notifications:

  • Participating notifications are those in which you are directly involved in a conversation. You will automatically receive these notifications when:

    • Someone mentions you or a team you're a member of
    • You are assigned to an issue or pull request
    • Someone makes a comment in a conversation you're subscribed to
  • Watching notifications are those in which you are actively watching a repository, but aren't necessarily participating. You will automatically receive these notifications for:

    • Opened issues and their comments
    • Opened pull requests and their comments
    • Comments on any commits
    • Published releases

Note: You will not get notifications for your own actions.
