See updates on the important activities you're interested in. Notifications can be viewed on GitHub Enterprise or in an email.
You will only receive email notifications if outbound email support is enabled on your GitHub Enterprise instance. For more information, contact your site administrator.
Types of notifications
GitHub Enterprise 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.
Managing notification delivery methods
You can choose how different notifications are delivered to you--whether they're available only on your GitHub Enterprise instance, sent as emails, or both. For more information, see "Managing notification delivery methods."
