GitPigeon

GitPigeon is a cool tool for developers who want to keep an eye on their GitHub repositories without all the annoying notifications. You know how GitHub can send you alerts for everything happening in the repos you're watching? Sometimes, those alerts don't even matter to you, right? So, turning off notifications isn't really an option because you might miss something important. That's where GitPigeon comes in!

Stay Focused with Smart Alerts

This app was created out of the frustration many developers feel—like wanting to avoid constant pings but still needing to stay updated. With GitPigeon, you only get notified when there's something that actually needs your attention.

What Does It Notify You About?

You'll receive alerts when someone mentions you in a comment, if your pull request gets reviewed, or if checks on your pull request fail or pass. This way, you can focus on what truly matters without being overwhelmed by irrelevant updates.

Setting Up GitPigeon

To get started with GitPigeon, just enter your GitHub credentials and install the app in the repositories you want notifications from. Remember that only the repository owner can do this setup step. But no worries! They don't need to install anything on their desktop; just share them a link to the installation page and they're good to go!

A Clutter-Free Experience

Once everything's set up, you can enjoy a cleaner workspace without those pesky notifications popping up every second. When you do get an alert from GitPigeon, it'll be something that genuinely requires your input.

No More Clutter!

The app runs quietly in the background—no icons taking up space in your Dock or menu bar. If at any point you want to tweak settings or add more repositories, just launch it again!

The Future of Notifications

If you're tired of drowning in unnecessary alerts or have disabled notifications altogether, GitPigeon is like a breath of fresh air! Plus, there's an iOS version on its way and support for GitLab is coming soon too.
