I'm part of several teams that depend heavily on GitHub's convenient "send an email every time anyone pushes commits" service, which is slated to disappear in a few weeks. I'm aware that it's been deprecated in favor of a more general WebHooks mechanism, but the docs are not very clear on exactly how one would instantiate the general mechanism to get back what the existing one does.
What is the easiest way to replicate the functionality that's going away?

In the left sidebar, under the list of repositories, use the "Manage notifications" drop-down to click Notification settings. On the notifications settings page, choose how you receive notifications when: There are updates in repositories or team discussions you're watching or in a conversation you're participating in.
### Notifications permission If you want to receive desktop notifications, you can enable them on extension options page. You will then be asked for the notifications permission.
On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Under your repository name, click Settings. In the "Integrations" section of the sidebar, click Email notifications. Type up to two email addresses, separated by whitespace, where you'd like notifications to be sent.
There are no ways to do it because GitHub delivers only two kinds of notifications: Participating: Someone mentions you or a team you're a member of. You are assigned to an issue or pull request.
Beside the original post (Replacing Services with webhooks), you have:
GitHub Actions, still in beta, but which should make it possible to accomplishes this (registration here).
efforts made to look for a webhook-based alternative.
For instance: pyinstaller/pyinstaller issue 3579. But there are no clear answer yet.
Update Feb. 2020: this issue is now closed (GitHub Actions are very much the standard now)
