Hi @heerxingen, thanks for posting in GitHub Discussions!

I've gone ahead and moved this post to our Repositories category, as this topic may be more relevant there and might help someone give you a nudge in the right direction. 😁

In the meantime, this doc on Configuring Notifications might be helpful for you.

Yes, you can configure GitHub to send notifications for watched repositories to a specific verified email address. Here's how:

1. • Go to your GitHub profile: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Your profile."
2. • Access your settings: Click on "Settings" in the left sidebar.
3. • Navigate to notifications: In the left sidebar, click on "Notifications."
4. • Choose email preferences: Under "Email preferences," select "Daily digest" or "Immediately." This will determine how frequently you receive notifications.
5. • Set your preferred email address: Scroll down to "Email address" and enter the verified email address you want to receive notifications at. Make sure it's a valid email address that you have access to.
6. • Save your changes: Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

Once you've completed these steps, you should start receiving notifications for the repositories you've watched at the specified email address.

Thanks! I hasn't checked my email for a long time and didn't see the notifications.. I guess I thought it was some sort of spam and ignored it :(
