[Feature Request] Subscribe only specific users

[zaryanov]

I have my team (about 5 persons), i need to get notifications about theirs activities, but not all commits in repo
Thank's

[welcome]

Thanks for opening this issue! If you would like to help implement an improvement, read more about contributing and consider submitting a pull request.

Hi @zaryanov, I just wanted to restate your question to make sure I understand your use case. I don't know when this may be prioritized, but I wanted to at least document something actionable.

You would like to have a list of GitHub Usernames you subscribe to instead of subscribing to a list of repositories?

For example, /github subscribe owner/repo would be the entire repository activity, and /github subscribe username (open to suggestions on syntax) would allow you to do the equivalent of Following on GitHub where you see their activity in Slack?

[zaryanov]

equivalent of Following on GitHub where you see their activity in Slack?

Not equivalent. I want to have some filters of subscribsions: For example, by username.

[xaviershay]

I'm not sure if my use case is exactly the same, but I want to subscribe to "comments on my PR/issues". ("comments on PR/issues made by " would enable this)

+1, this would be really useful. We have some repos that have a lot of contributors, but a given team only cares about the activity in that repo that's relevant to that team. So I'd like to be able to do something like this:

/github subscribe org/repo <features> filter:<teams/users>

[rallyReid]

I would like at add a use case where we filter by teams e.g.
/github subscribe org/repo <feature> filter:<team>
This would let our team only see relevant PRs on repos made by team members.

Hi,
I don't really know who's in charge here. But I would like to try my luck in contributing. But probably gonna take a month since I have to do it outside of my regular work. Maybe you guys can tell me where I can get started in the repository to implement such feature. In the commands or is there a separate subscription module?

[solofeed]

I agree that it will be a nice feature.

Common use case:

A big monolith application with a lot of domains. Each domain has own contributors/team.
Each team has own slack channel. It will be useful to subscribe to a specific team/developer in the context of the repo.

I would also use a feature like this! Even better for me would be something flexible enough to be able to filter prs by title, e.g. something like

/github subscribe owner/repo pulls +in:title JIRA

where JIRA is a custom pattern in the pr title

[jpbriggs408]

This would be incredibly useful! Has any progress been made towards implementing this feature?

[rsmiley-asi]

In my case, I definitely don't want to know about my PRs, merges or other traffic; after all I already know that I did those because I did them. I just want to be able to subscribe to an organization and see all the notifications except my own.

[DannyC-BC]

Any updates on this?
We have numerous teams that work on the same repo, but I would like to only subscribe to pulls that my teammates create.

[cncolder]

Nice to have more filters support.

/github subscribe owner/repo pulls +author:@me

[AndriiTsarenko]

I would like to get notifications related only to me (I'm assigned as a reviewer, merged my PR, my PR has comments, etc.).

I would not like to filter manually every person, and this won't work if someone from another team will create PR to my repo and ask for my review.

[ktabouguia-sq]

Is this issue being tracked somewhere? I am also very interested in this feature and would love to get some updates on this.

[mattwynne]

I'd like this. With dependabot, we have a lot of noise in our commit log, and I'd love to be able to lift out just the commits made by the humans (or exclude the commits made by the bots)

[mattwynne]

I like @cncolder's suggestion for the UI:

/github subscribe owner/repo pulls +author:@me

I'd be interested in hacking on it together with someone else, if anyone's up for pairing on it.

Can I also ask for another [feature]?

It would be great if I could only get pull notifications if I was actually a reviewer.

It seems that since I turned on web and mobile notifications in notification settings and updated the real time reminders setting at scheduled reminders, the Github-Slack integration is behaving more like I was hoping it would. 100x better than anything I could figure out with the slash commands for configuring at least.

Alternatively/also, you could install the Emails slack app and forward your email notifications to a private slack channel.
