GitHub – How to Remove Read Notifications

githubnotifications

Last week (I think), the mark all as read button vanished from my GitHub notification page, maybe for a few days.

It eventually came back. But now, read notifications just accumulate in a dedicated read drawer and there seem to be no way of getting rid of them…

no <code>clear</code> button

What's going on with GitHub notifications this month?
Where can I find information (and motivation) about these new features?
How do I clear these notifications?

  • wait a few days until they vanish on themselves
