Question

A developer on a large open-source project is receiving hundreds of email notifications daily from a repository they contribute to occasionally. They only want to be notified when they are directly mentioned, assigned, or when they comment on a thread — not about every new issue or pull request. Which notification setting should they choose for that repository?

Accepted Answer

Set the repository watch option to 'Participating and @mentions'

Answer

Set the repository watch option to 'All Activity'

Answer

Unwatch the repository entirely so they receive nothing

Answer

Enable 'Ignore' on the repository to mute all notifications permanently
