Question

A developer works across a dozen active repositories and is overwhelmed by the volume of notifications arriving in the GitHub notifications inbox. They want a way to organize incoming notifications so they can quickly focus on only those where they were directly mentioned, without permanently changing which repositories they watch. What should they use?

Accepted Answer

Create a custom filter in the notifications inbox that narrows the view to notifications where the reason is 'mention'

Answer

Unwatch every repository so that no notifications are generated at all

Answer

Convert each repository's issues into Discussions to reduce notification traffic

Answer

Set every repository's watch setting to 'Ignore' and rely on email digests instead
