How to experiment with GitHub Actions without users "watching" the repo getting email notifications

Viewed 109

On GitHub I get email notifications for repositories I "watch".

I can choose to disable email notifications for a specific repository:

Watch notification settings per repo

Or I can do it globally in my settings: personal settings


But as a repo owner, can I disable notifications for other users watching my repo?

I plan to build a somewhat more complicated GitHub Action and I suspect it is going to require some trial and error to get it right. I would like to prevent "watchers" getting notifications every time the Action starts & fails or gets aborted while I experiment.

To do this, you could do your experiments in a temporary fork of your repo.
