Watching a repo

The simplest way to make sure you know about any changes to a repo is to watch it. You can do that, even if you do not clone a local copy of the repo.

To watch a repo, perform the following steps:

1. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the repo on GitHub.

2. Click Watch, and then under Notifications, select Watching.

To quit watching a repo, perform the following steps:

1. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the repo on GitHub.

2. Click Watch, and then under Notifications, select Not watching.

Note: You can select the Ignoring option under the Watch drop-down list. However, this means that you receive no notifications, even if another user includes you in a discussion with the mention functionality and your GitHub user name. Therefore, you should be careful configuring the Ignoring option.
