Config GitHub

GitHub

Unread GitHub notifications inside the notification center: the inbox merges into the center's list, and a GitHub icon in the header filters to just them. Clicking an item opens the thread in the browser and marks it read; dismissing marks it done on GitHub (recoverable via the Done filter on github.com).

Section: [github]

Key	Type	Default	What it does
enabled	bool	true	Master toggle (requires a token, see below)
poll_minutes	int	5	Minutes between inbox syncs (minimum 1); the center also refreshes when opened, at most once a minute

Auth — the token is never read from config.toml:

• Create a personal access token at github.com/settings/tokens: fine-grained with Notifications read access, or classic with the notifications scope.
• Put it in ~/.config/wam-shell/github.env as GITHUB_TOKEN=... and chmod 600 the file. The GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable works too and takes precedence.
• Without a token the center shows desktop notifications only, even when enabled is true.

Re-polls are conditional (If-Modified-Since) and do not count against the GitHub rate limit.
