Here at 18F, we use GitHub. A lot of GitHub. Although I was comfortable with GitHub before I arrived here, I was not prepared for the volume of GitHub notifications that would be in my email's inbox. Every pull request, every new repository, every commented upon issue led to inbox bloat.
Confronted with this, I thought my options were bad ones, as follows:
- Deal with it and just try and keep up. (yeah, right.)
- Unsubscribe to the repos that were uninteresting. (This also seemed unsatisfactory, as I'm supposed to stay current on some of these things).
- Try and set up filters and remember to check the folders (yeah, right.)
