How do I get notifications on new GitHub issues?

Tags:

github

Right now, I miss quite some issues for my project hosted on GitHub. I am looking for a way which tells me of new issues. E-Mail would be fine, but those are only sent if I participated in a specific issue. IRC is also an option.

For both email and IRC, google spit out nothing helpful. Is this really not possible?

Actually, this one was a bit tricky. I didn't realize that notifications work slightly different with organizations. Sorry, I really forgot about this question and I can't tell you exactly how to configure it as this was a while ago - but if you stumble over this, and you are trying to get notifications for issues that are in organization projects, you should read this:

http://alexking.org/blog/2011/11/28/not-getting-github-notifications

whose key point is (a quote from Github support):

Users in the Owners group don’t receive notifications. You need to create a normal team and add yourself to it to get notifications for that team’s repos.

I know I'm late to this topic, but I've created a Chrome extension which allows you to receive notifications from GitHub repositories you can specify so you will not miss issues again.

Whenever an issue is opened on the repository(s) you've selected, a notification will be sent to you. Similarly, whenever someone creates a pull request, it will notify you as well.

Steps:

  1. Install the Chrome extension here

  2. Click on the installed Chrome Extension on the top right of Chrome and fill in your Git username

  3. Enable permissions on your GitHub here
