Gist comments and mentions don't trigger notifications

[max-mapper]

this used to work.

to reproduce:

• make a gist
• have someone leave a command or @ mention you
• you won't receive any emails

GitHub just updated the Gist design/theme … Unfortunately, after having tested @ replies and comments with co-worker, it looks like those type of notifications were not included in the new feature set. :frowning:

Maybe I'm overlooking something?

[eddieajau]

Confirmed - still not working. I suggest everyone send a message to support https://github.com/contact

[bethesque]

Polite message sent requesting to know if/where the feature is in their backlog, and explaining how useful notifications would be, and what the negative impact is on collaboration without them.

Where can I contribute code to make this happen?

[cirosantilli]

+1 @cdillon you mean send a patch to GitHub? Should not be possible since closed source.

[bethesque]

I received a response to my message thanking me for my input, but (not surprisingly) not giving any indication of whether this is a priority at all.

I wonder how many :+1: it is going to take before this gets fixed :-(

[rosenfeld]

They said they would fix it as soon as it reached a million :+1: ;)

@rosenfeld I hope someone is keeping a count going then! :-)

I'm wondering if anyone read Isaacs's announcement before commenting here.

[rosenfeld]

I've just e-mailed support@github.com to remind them about this feature request and asked them if they could update the status for it here if possible. Let's wait for their status then...

[rosenfeld]

They just replied:

"Thanks for the feedback. If we do add notifications for Gist, we'll be sure to announce it on https://github.com/blog but we can't say if or when we may add a feature."

[gep13]

Looks like a standard reply, I got the exact same thing after I emailed earlier this morning.

[rosenfeld]

Yes, I know, just to let others know about it.

[rosenfeld]

At least GitHub allows us to add comments to gists and fork them :) GitLab snippets do not support comments or forking for instance as far as I can tell you looking at their interface. And Gitorious does't even seem to provide any feature similar to gists... Does anyone here know some great site to allow us to provide public code snippets with support for comments, forking and notifications?

[rosenfeld]

Snipt seems to be interesting as it doesn't require another account for those sharing their comments as it uses Disqus for the comments:

https://snipt.net

I'll try to remember using it for my next snippet. It supports 145 languages, including those I'm interested in: Ruby, CoffeeScript, JavaScript.

[rosenfeld]

And I just found their source is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/nicksergeant/snipt/ :)

Left a comment to rot for 12 days. Better than 5 months, at least!
