Read the feed

The Feed is one stream of everything that happened across every repository in the workspace, newest first: comments, review threads, reviews, pull requests opened, merged and closed, and commit pushes. New activity is added at the top as it arrives, marked New. It shows people by default; switch to bots to see what the bots did. It covers the last 14 days.

#What you see

Each card has an icon for its kind (a comment, a pull request event, or commits), the person, the pull request and the time. A review thread card shows its state. A card where it is your turn has a coloured bar and says My Turn. Limn's own posts are named as Limn's.

#Narrow the feed

• People or Bots: whose activity shows. Never both at once. See People or bots.
• Comments: review threads and pull request comments.
• PR events: opens, reviews, merges and closes. When it is on, a second row narrows it to Opened, Reviewed, Merged or Closed. With none of those chosen, all four show.
• Commits: every commit push. With it off, the feed shows only the pushes that addressed a review thread.
• Thread state: show only threads in the states you choose. See What the thread states mean.

With Comments and PR events both off, the feed shows everything. Each pill shows how many items it holds.

#What you can do

• Choose a card to open the pull request in its own tab.
• Open a comment card to read it in full, react to it, reply, or view it on GitHub. Long comments are shortened until you open them.
• With the Timeline on, choose the Focus button on a card to open that pull request in a Focus tab on the Timeline.
• Choose a person's name to see their recent activity.

One pull request, one repository, one person

The same feed appears narrowed in three places: on each repository page, for one pull request (from the pull request's Show in the Activity feed), and for one person (from their name). Only the main feed adds new items as they arrive.

#Why it helps

GitHub's notifications arrive one repository and one pull request at a time. The Feed puts the whole workspace's conversation in order, and keeps the bots' comments out of the way until you want them.
