GitHub for Mac initially enhanced its Notification Center feature by integrating it with GitHub.com’s notifications, allowing users to receive notifications only for repositories and threads they are watching, similar to the website. This update also included the ability to mute threads directly from the app, ensuring synchronization between the app and the website. However, due to the feature's incomplete implementation, GitHub for Mac later removed these notifications, suggesting users rely on website or email notifications instead. The team expressed a possibility of reintroducing the feature in a more refined form in the future.
