Mentioning myself in a commit message should notify/email me like it would someone else #1418

Open JohnathanBaird opened 5 years ago

I have some scripts I'd like to implement that create a commit and push it and add a @JohnathanBaird to the commit message to notify me that the script was run. These scripts could be run on a shared computer where I might have been the last person logged into GitHub Desktop, and I don't want to miss a notification in that case. Unfortunately if I'm the one logged into GitHub right now the mention of my own account doesn't notify me on GitHub's website or via email. I'd like this to change, at least to give us an option to enable this behavior in our account notification settings on the website. Thanks!

Isn't the bottom option here, what you're looking for?

is this what you re looking for

I saw that option already but figured that it would turn on notifications for all the other types of communication described there, which is my own comments on issues and pull requests (not necessarily where I mention myself), my own pull request reviews (not necessarily where I mention myself), and my own pull request pushes (not necessarily where I mention myself). I'll try it and see if I get swarmed by emails unrelated to this issue.

Edit: ...yeah I get email notifications from things like commenting on my own pull requests if I turn that on.
