things I wish github notified me about

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)

Requested on isaacs open github issues repo here: isaacs/github#21

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!

Looks like I am not the only one having this problem...
