How to filter github email notifications

This is based on @brendar's instructions, which is based on email addresses from GitHub docs. It creates two labels:

  • GitHub
  • GitHub - Important

Importing the filters

Save the attached mailFilters.xml file locally, then in Gmail, go to Settings -> Filters and Blocked Addresses, then click on Import Filters, browse to the attached .xml file and click Open file. Then click the Create filters button if they look good.

Creating the filters manually

  1. Filter all GitHub notifications out of the inbox and apply the GitHub label
