Email notifications

Here's how to configure your Google email for less annoying/disruptive GitHub email notifications.

This will make anything that is NOT a mention, assignment, or something you created pop-up as a read email.

• Create a label for GitHub issues ("github")
• Settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses > Create a new filter
• Fill "From" field = [email protected]
• Fill "Doesn't have" field = "You are receiving this because you were mentioned.", "You are receiving this because you authored the thread.", "You are receiving this because you were assigned."
• Click continue / add your own custom stuff
• "When a message arrives that matches this search"
• Check "Mark as read"
• Check "Apply the label" and choose your GitHub label ("github")
• Then click "Update filter"

You can also just unwatch the repo on GitHub, but with the above fix you can review your emails later to see what you missed. All depends on your personal workflow preferences.
