How to turn off email notifications from GitHub?

 

Step 1: Sign in to your GitHub account

 

Go to https://github.com in your web browser and enter your username (or email) and password. Once signed in, you’ll land on your GitHub dashboard.

 

Step 2: Access your account settings

 

  • Click your profile photo in the top-right corner.
  • From the dropdown menu, select Settings.

 

Step 3: Open Notification settings

 

  • In the left-hand sidebar of Settings, click Notifications.

 

Step 4: Adjust your global email notification preferences

 

  • Under the “Notification email” section, you’ll see checkboxes for different categories:
    • Watching – notifications for repositories you’re watching.
    • Participating – notifications when you’re mentioned or participating in threads.
    • All activity – notifications for every event in the repositories you have access to.
  • Uncheck the boxes next to the categories you don’t want to receive via email.

 

Step 5: Customize repository-specific email notifications (optional)

 

  • Scroll down to the “Repositories” section on the same page.
  • Locate any repository for which you want to opt out.
  • Use the dropdown next to each repository and select Not watching or disable email for that specific repo.

 

Step 6: Verify and save

 

  • Your changes are saved automatically as you make them.
  • To verify, trigger a test notification (e.g., watch a test repository) and ensure you no longer receive emails.

Rapid Dev was an exceptional project management organization and the best development collaborators I've had the pleasure of working with. They do complex work on extremely fast timelines and effectively manage the testing and pre-launch process to deliver the best possible product. I'm extremely impressed with their execution ability.

Working with Matt was comparable to having another co-founder on the team, but without the commitment or cost. He has a strategic mindset and willing to change the scope of the project in real time based on the needs of the client. A true strategic thought partner!
