GitHub has introduced a new configuration setting that allows users to receive email notifications about their own activities, addressing a gap where email threads previously felt incomplete without these updates. Users can now filter these emails, which feature the address [email protected] in the CC field, to manage their inbox more effectively. This enhancement enables users to automatically mark certain emails as read or highlight them with stars or tags, ensuring important updates stand out. Additionally, GitHub has expanded its notification settings, allowing users to configure their preferences to receive updates on specific actions like comments on issues and pull requests, pull request reviews, and pull request pushes.
