githubnotifications
I've starred a project on GitHub. I'd like to receive via email notification of major updates of that project (basically commits on the master branch).
I know there is the "Watch" options but I don't really want to receive emails for all issues and so on, I just want official updates on the project.
How can I do this?
I do not believe Trello has this functionality built in. If you're willing to use another service to get notifications, I recommend checking out this Trello to Google Calendar Zap on Zapier.
The way it works, whenever a card is updated with a due date, the Zap will automatically put the due date onto a Google Calendar. Google Calendar provides many mechanisms for upcoming event notifications including customized notifications, variable-length notifications periods, etc. You should be able to receive these on your mobile device, too!
I should note, to get this Zap to work, you'll need set up a filter (when you set up the Zap) to only trigger on cards and only those with due dates.
Alternatively, you might look at this Zap which is easier to set up, but requires you to immediately choose a due date (within a few minutes of making the card) else the due date won't exist when the Zap triggers.
No that feature is not available in Github public repo , for that you need to purchase the private repository
Best Answer
Unfortunately, There's no way to do this through Github.com web/desktop interface
Here's what I have found (some I've tried) and I list in order of BEST to WORST solution:
Zapier:
Does EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT and THEN SOME... it will let you configure:
.
and then allows you to filter on what looks like all the GitHub API fields (well over 20+) like:
.
It then creates a custom, private RSS feed that you can consume however you want and set up whatever alerting you need (desktop, mobile, ...whatever). https://zapier.com/zapbook/github/rss/3489/post-github-notifications-rss/
.
COST:
Unfortunately, the Zapier Free Tier allows for only:
.
Although, this doesn't compare to IFTTT's free and unlimited recipes and events, I think it's still a good backup for those uniques situations that IFTTT just isn't robust enough for.
In any event, I think you can get full, unlimited funcationality with a 14-day free trial, which you can then downgrade to the Free Tier.
IFTTT:
If you haven't tried IFTTT yet, you should drop what you're doing, and check it out ASAP.
Here are some instructions for building a recipe for per-commit email notifications: http://www.warski.org/blog/2013/04/per-commit-e-mail-github-notifications/
I'm sure you could find even more recipes on the IFTTT.com.
.
COST:
IFTTT is completely free with unlimited recipes and triggers/events/actions
Use a browser RSS extension that allows you to filter on keywords that would trigger on info about major releases.
Here's a Chrome Extension (the SPOI filter RSS extension) that will do this for Feedly: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spoi-filter/eepgdapnfglikioooabknaoadejkhini
.
COST:
The SPOI filter RSS extension is completely free
Finally, you can also try http://www.hubnotify.com/.
This works well, but only notifies by email when there is an update to something you are watching, so no filtering, bells & whistles, or ways to determine if a major commit has occurred.
On the other hand, it:

COST:
HubNotify is completely free
