When reviewing a pull request, it is sometimes useful to have a look at what the contributor's branch looks like. I find it frustrating that the below label (highlighted in yellow) is not a hyperlink that takes me there:
I wonder why that is? I wouldn't even mind if it was a dead link (for merged pull requests it could happen that the contributor's branch doesn't exist anymore for example.)
What would be the alternative (outside of fetching their repo locally… etc)?
On the sidebar, under Notifications, you will be able to toggle your subscription to the thread.
You can also now manage notification settings at the individual issue or pull request level. This lets you manually subscribe to any issue without commenting, or unsubscribe from issues no longer relevant to your interests:
See the blog post, "Mention @somebody. They're notified." for details.
Github doesn't provide for such an option yet in their accounts/notifications page.
perhaps you can contact the repo admin to setup a service hook
