How do you manage your github notifications?

Do you use other services like Octobox? Strictly utilize email notifications? Slack integration? The actual notifications page?!

I've been using gitify.io desktop app. Works well.

I'm a HUGE fan of DevHub. It's cross-platform as well so I can use the same environment in the browser as well as my phones.

Seconded! It's a great app. I just wish it would sync with github when I have read notifications.

I use Octobox and I'm a big fan of it!

I host a personal instance of it so that I can use the personal access token feature and it works great!

I currently use the Github notifications page. So far I can still handle it, but I do check notifications multiple times a day.

Currently my personal projects are in "low activity mode" and I only have a couple repositories watching "Releases only".
The only repository that spams my notifications is the DEV repo 😂but I it set to "watching" so I can follow everything that is happening.

I don't 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️, I mean I'm not that picky about it. I access them anywhere. However, I got the notifications about the most important threads for me (My PRs, Issues I commented in...) in my Outlook focused inbox with a push notification.

I don't. I just let them pile up in my inbox. Gmail just puts everything in my forums tab.

For non-work, I use email. For work stuff, we have a Slack bot wired up.

My process is:

  1. Receive a lot of them because I didn't tweak anything
  2. Sigh and or curse about it
  3. Repeat

Works pretty well.

More seriously, I use a mix of emails + the notification page and some Slack (or otherwise) notifications when possible, that's all I need.

No email notifications at all: it's just like spam, it's bad for the environment and it's distracting.
If there are things I should review/know about quickly then my co-worker can contact me on slack or something like that.
Then whenever I have time, I go through them quickly from the notification page.
