manage watches | unsubscribe ### Can I change my email once I sign up? Yes, at the bottom of the page there is a (change) link to allow you to change your email. Your email defaults to your public one on GitHub. ### How does unsubscribing work? When you click the `unsubscribe` link in an email, your account is deactivated. Deactivated accounts will not receive updates. If you re-activate your account at a later date, by logging in and pressing the reactivate button, then you will continue to recieve email. Occasionally I may delete old accounts which are deactivated. If this happens you will have to reselect your watches if you return. ## Contributing I always want to make GitHub Release Watch better. If you find any bugs, or have suggestions, let me know by making an issue, or, even better, by fixing the problem and making a pull request. ## License (The MIT License) Copyright (c) 2013 Michael Layzell Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the 'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
