things I wish github notified me about

Raw

readme.md

the new github notifications (https://github.com/blog/1204-notifications-stars) leaves me wanting more!

when someone comments on a gist that I either own or have also commented on
when someone comments on a commit (in a project that I'm not part of) that I have commented on
when someone makes a commit to a fork of one of my repos

notifications settings should let you choose whether or not to receive emails for the above things. there should also be a web UI that shows you a list of all comments/messages for the above scenarios. at the moment https://github.com/notifications only shows you github issue names which is less useful than showing the actual message (the old notifications page showed actual messages)

I have bookmarked:

https://gist.github.com/:username?sort=updated&direction=desc

and check manually and regularly, almost everyday, just to make sure I don't miss any. But unfortunately, that's only for things happening to my Gists. If I comment on someone's Gist, I will have to save the link and go back to check on the Gist later. But that seems a waste of time, since the Gist owner and others probably wouldn't get any notifications.

Wait a minute, what am I doing right now? Just wasted another couple of minutes!
