You’ll no longer see a flood of commit events in your dashboard. Instead? Push events.
Commit events will still appear on your profile and in all your RSS feeds for now. We will be removing commit events from RSS feeds in three weeks, on December 18th. We’ll post more about the new format soon.
Update Pushes with single commits now show the commit. We also fixed the wycats bug.
Very happy to have stumbled across this a minute ago. I’ve been getting push rushes lately.
Nom nom!
Removing push events from the RSS feeds sounds a little scary :) I use the feeds to keep up with what happens in projects I’m interested in. I hope the RSS push events will contain the commit messages (or summaries) inline, not just say “123 commits”.

@henrik Of course. That’s why the article says “we’ll post more about the new format soon.”
That’s a shame – the previous commits had comments, so you could tell at a glance what was going on. Now I have to click on every push to find out?
Looks like I’m re-writing the Github Activity Badge again a little sooner than I thought! ;)
Awesome, this is a huge usability and information improvement when following more than a few users/repos. I’ve been looking forward to the new changes!
Great job, boys!
Awesometastic!
Yeah nice. thanks love that the dashboards gets some love :D
Looking good.
Tho, after looking at a list of a lot of one commit pushes, I think it would be a good idea to just show the commit if it’s alone in the push. Eh?
@evilchelu You can use GitHubbub for now ;)
Hey I think there’s a funny bug here
I am having a bug too (wrong commit author), should I file it on support ?
I think i’m happy now! thanks! and yes wycats is everythere =)
@acme Not sure what you mean. Commit comments still show up, and commit links still appear. The only functionality you lost is the joy of clicking through pages of news feed to catch up.
if we could filter our private and public repo feeds, now that would be a bundle of joy…what do you guys do all day anyway, nothing ever gets done :-p
this is a great improvement never-the-less, thanks!!
Now that the new feed format is up, I have to say… it’s even better than I expected! I didn’t notice in the screenshots or in the dashboard that it mentioned the branch into which the changes were pushed. This will certainly make things less confusing on projects with multiple active branches.
