Clearing Rogue GitHub notifications using GitHub CLI

clear-github-notification.md

1. Have gh (GitHub CLI) installed locally and logged into your GitHub account (i.e. gh auth login).
2. Execute the following command to clear rogue/frozen unread notifications:

gh api \
  --method PUT \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  /notifications \
  -f last_read_at="$(date -u +'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')" \
  -F read=true

If you don't have GNU's date command installed locally you can use:

gh api \
  --method PUT \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  /notifications \
  -f last_read_at='2022-06-10T00:00:00Z' \
  -F read=true

And voila, now you can go on your day peacefully with no unread notifications.
