github
I am working on a medium-sized GitHub project (~10 active collaborators) and am getting flooded by tons of extraneous emails that I don't need to respond to. Ideally I'd only like to receive an email notification if someone directly @mentions me (in an issue, PR or elsewhere).
Currently this doesn't seem to be possible in GitHub's notification settings. Does anyone know of a way to "hack" this sort of functionality together (maybe using an email filter?)
Github is going to use the first address listed in your Account Settings/Email Addresses.
Right now the only way I know to change the primary email address that is used, it to delete the email addresses above the one you want to use, then add them back after the email address you want to use is at the top.
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

You can set GitHub to only notify you if you are directly mentioned. In your profile settings, under Notifications, make sure the setting below is checked, and uncheck all of the other notification settings:
That way you will only be notified when you are directly mentioned.
