Github Unnotifier
So I work in a monorepo, to which I have elevated access. This means I get a LOT of work associated notifications on Github because approval requests land on my team's desk. However, since we are a team, many of these notificaitons don't require that I action them.
I would like to not be notified at all, but Github's notification filtering features are non-existent so I'm doing this the hard way.
This script at present does the simple thing - it looks through notifications for activity on resolved PRs and marks such activity as read automatically. Unfortunately, that's the best you can really do.
Usage
You're gonna need a config.toml
like
[gh-unnotifier]
api_key = "your secret value"
org_shitlist = [
"your-employer-here",
"their-oss-group-here",
]
And then you can bazel run //projects/gh-unnotifier -- maintain --config $(realpath config.toml)
.
By default, maintain
will go over your notifications once a minute and mark anything as read which:
- Relates to a closed (merged or abandoned) PR
- Does not have an outstanding review request against EITHER the user OR one of the user's teams (someone else already reviewed it) AND is in an org in the
org_shitlist
Note that the org_shitlist
serves as a gate to allow you to opt notifications from organizations into auto-dismissal, rather than auto-dismissing anything you aren't a reviewer on from anywhere as that covers many other potentially desirable notifications too.
It would be nice if there was a way to quickly ascertain what review permissions the configured user has and whether requested reviews to relevant groups have already been provided, but so far that's a pipe dream.
