I found that most GitHub notification emails weren’t useful to me, so I set up Gmail filters and Multiple Inboxes to separate the noise from what actually matters. I found that most GitHub notification emails weren’t useful to me, so I set up Gmail filters and 'multiple inboxes' to separate the noise from what I actually need to see.

It’s surprising how much irrelevant email GitHub generates, and that there still isn’t a better way to get only the important notifications. How are others managing GitHub notification overload?

It seems crazy that such a widely used platform hasn’t solved this after so many years.
