Ability to Watch a project but only for releases

[schrepfler]

I'm often interested in watching a project but I'm not really interested in all the conversations and issues it might have, I'm mostly interested in releases coming out. Would it be possible to have more options under the Watch project button?

I just sent this to support@ (Maybe this issue could be expanded to include mentioned subscriptions?)

Feature request: subscribe to any specific page of a project

As I mentioned, it'd be amazing to subscribe receive notifications of any page of a project. I'd personally love to subscribe to just releases &/or changelogs to many projects, for instance, but may want to even subscribe to any changes in, e.g., the skins subfolder.

Thanks for an amazing service! ☺

P.S.: I'll track this via https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/410 =)

Just received reply — here's hoping:

This would be a great feature.

Not only great, but required for some repos ;)

An RSS feed for subscribing to a project release would be really cool.

An RSS feed for subscribing to a project release would be really cool.

This is possible already. For example go to https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases, have a look in the html source of the page. Search for .atom and you will find urls to feeds:
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases.atom
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tags.atom
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/commits/master.atom

So you get a feed with releases with a url like:
https://github.com/USER/REPO/releases.atom

Did also report this one to Github earlier last year 👍

👍 the Watch button should look like this :

Think one extra option between 'not watching' and 'watching' would be enough, something like 'only watch releases'.

This would be awesome. I always find myself going back to projects to check if there is a newer version.

This would be awesome. Something simple, like the "only watch releases" suggested above.

Would also love this. I'm currently using a separate service to watch the releases.atom folder and have that service e-mail me when it changes.

@StubbsPKS For the record, what service do you use?

This would make GitHub even more awesome - if that is possible.. 😄
