github email hook for notification

[fwang2]

hi Adam/Jon,

Right now, by watching a github repo, you get notified when issues are opened or comments are made, but not when a new commit is made to the code repo, which I'd like know to properly rebase the code if needed.

Github provides such as hook to enable "git diff" goes to a mailing list. Do you think you can enable this to a -dev mailing list? I hope I am not the only one who likes to get notified on this :-)

Thanks

Feiyi

Hey @fwang2, I created https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/fileutils-dev for this purpose. Last night I tried to get it working again, but it seems like Google's spam protection is getting the best of me. I'll try again tonight.

@fwang2 going through some old tickets here. Do you get commit messages now, or if you "star" the repo?

[fwang2]

@adammoody my understanding is either "star" or "watching" the repo doesn't give you the push of commit message, but "watching" did provide update on all issues and conversations. bringhurst's fix of using an mail-reflector and a email hook 'should work', but no, I am not getting commit messages yet.

Hi @fwang2,
It looks like GitHub has a new category for watchers where you can watch for releases only (announcement here: https://github.blog/changelog/2018-11-27-watch-releases/). I know it's not quite what you are looking for, but hopefully it helps!
