watch-commits

✨ A GitHub (gh) CLI extension to watching commits in a repository.

English | 简体中文

Motivation

GitHub has been missing a way to watching commits in a repository, but https://stackoverflow.com/a/42600376 offers another solution: via pull request.

This extension is also the CLI version of this solution.

Installation

gh extension install WaterLemons2k/gh-watch-commits

Usage

Run:

gh watch-commits -R <repository>

Replace <repository> with the repository to which you want to watching commits.

If you have successfully created a pull request, please note the following:

• do NOT merge this pull request
  • if you merged it, don't worry, just run this command again to open another pull request.
• under the Email section of your Notifications settings enable:
  • Comments on Issues and Pull Requests
  • Pull Request reviews
  • Pull Request pushes

That's it. You will receive email notifications about every commit on default branch.

Run gh watch-commits -h for more help:

  gh watch-commits [-R <repository>] [flags]
