Missing notifications on github

Question

I've followed the thread at:

How do I get notifications on new GitHub issues?

"Notification Center" has Email and Web checked for Participating and Watching and Notification Email is also correct.

But I'm not receiving any notifications for any pushes to my github repository at:

https://github.com/arun-gupta/javaee7-samples

Not even getting notifications for any issues. This is an individual project, not in a team.

How do I enable the basic notification so that I get an email for any pushes to the repository and updates to any of the issues ?

Answer 1

I was having the same problem and believe it or not the following is what finally resolved it for me:

Checking both the "[x] Email" AND "[x] Web" options in the GitHub Notifications center of my GitHub Account Settings:

1. Login to your GitHub account.
2. Click the Account Settings icon on the top right.
3. Click the Notifications center category in the left column.
4. Make sure BOTH the "Email" AND "Web" options are checked.
5. Make sure the correct email address set to receive notifications.

In my case, I only had "Email" checked, but not "Web" (since I prefer doing everything via email rather than via crappy web page interfaces), and was never receiving any Email notifications (even though I had the "Email" option checked!).

But as soon as I checked the "Web" option as well (so that BOTH options were checked), VOILA! I began receiving my email notifications again.

Go figure.

Answer 2

Here is how I enabled notifications:

1. Go to the specific repository
2. Click on "Settings" on the right navigation bar
3. Click on "Service Hooks"
4. Click on "Email"
5. Enter the email address to receive notifications
6. Click on "Update Settings"

I was hoping the repo author would be automatically added to the notifications, but apparently not.

Answer 3

go to https://github.com/settings/emails and check if your email is verified

after about 10 years of usage, github reset verification for my email for some reason ?
