title:Activity | GitHub API

Placeholder for intro to Notifications, Starring, Watching, Events,

Following(?) and other stuffs

Notifications of new comments are delivered to users. The Notifications API

lets you view these notifications, and mark them as read.

Repository Starring is a feature that lets users bookmark repositories. Stars

are shown next to repositories to show an approximate level of interest. Stars

have no effect on notifications or the activity feed.

Watching a Repository registers the user to receive notificactions on new

discussions, as well as events in the user's activity feed.

This is a read-only API of the events that power the various activity streams

on GitHub.
