Fetch GitHub notifications using the gh CLI
tools
["execute"]
# List GitHub Notifications Use `gh api` to fetch all unread GitHub notifications with automatic pagination. ## Command Use the `--jq` flag (NOT a pipe to `jq`) to filter output inline: ``` gh api /notifications --paginate --jq '.[] | {id, reason, unread, updated_at, repo: .repository.full_name, title: .subject.title, type: .subject.type, url: .subject.url}' ``` This is the ONLY command you should run. Do NOT modify it. Do NOT add anything to it. ## Rules - **NEVER** pipe to `jq`, `python`, `python3`, or any other program - **NEVER** add `2>/dev/null` or any redirects - **NEVER** wrap the command in a script - **ALWAYS** prepend `GH_PAGER=cat` to `gh api` calls to avoid interactive pagers - **NEVER** add other environment variable prefixes - The `--jq` flag handles all JSON filtering — no external tools needed - The `--paginate` flag handles pagination — no manual page loops needed ## Filters - **Participating only:** Add `--method GET -f participating=true` - **Include read:** Add `--method GET -f all=true` - **Specific repo:** Use `gh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/notifications --paginate --jq '...'` - **Since date:** Add `-f since=2024-01-01T00:00:00Z` ## Constructing HTML URLs The `url` field is an API URL like `https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo/pulls/123`. Convert to a clickable URL: - For pulls: `https://github.com/{repo}/pull/{number}` - For issues: `https://github.com/{repo}/issues/{number}` Extract the number from the API URL's last path segment. ## Priority Sort notifications by reason priority (highest first): 1. `security_alert` (critical) 2. `assign` (high) 3. `review_requested` (high) 4. `mention` (high) 5. `ci_activity` (medium) 6. `comment` (medium) 7. `team_mention` (medium) 8. `state_change` (medium) 9. `author` (low) 10. `subscribed` (low)
