Truly, I received a mail of invite to which I click on the button. But this link to the repo manage access page where there no button or link to accept or decline. Plus there was no notification in my github account.
Yes, I have received the invite mail, but I will appreciate any solution on how to accept the invitation. Thank you
Strange. Regarding github.com, Thomas Dohmke (now CEO of GitHub) is clear, since Nov. 2021:
We improved #github repo invites and shipped three small changes to make them easier to discover:
navigating to a private repo with a pending invite no longer ends in a 404, but prompts you to accept the invitation.
you will now receive notifications for private repo invites as you already do for public repos.
in case of a pending invite on a public repo, you will now see a banner pointing you to accept the invite.
Make sure you are logged in github.com first.

I received invitation for github but he provided with link let's say https://github.com/example/example2/invitations.
But when I try to access the link , it's giving me page not found error.
Is there any method that I need to pull this email to accept the invitation or the invitation link is simply not working?
I have logged into my git account but still it's not accessible.
But when I try to access the link , it's giving me page not found error.
Then your best bet is to ask the person who invited you to send you a new invitation. Perhaps they moved the project to a different repo or took some other action that invalidated your invitation, and they just need to send you a new one.
In GitHub, one of my friend sent me a collaboration invite for their repository.
I was looking in many places within the site,
In my account setting, profile page
In friends repository page
But nowhere in site i could find the invite, where do i find the invite in the site ?
Ideally, the request comes as a notification. Once you click on it, it will take you to a page where you can accept and reject.
Please check if he has invited correct person.
In the search of answers, found below solution.
Note: Still there is no straight forward page/section within the site to navigate(At least, till Mar 2020
).
Through mail & site notification - as per Raju's aswser, that is the primary way how the sites collaboration invite works
A manual way - There is an URL format, in which you can enter the related details, to see the invites in a webpage as below,
https://github.com/username/reponame/invitations
username => the complete & exact, GitHub profile name from whom, you expect the invite
reponame => the complete & exact, repository name to which you are invited to collaborate

I was part of an organization and collaborator for some repositories in that organization, though I was removed from collaborators I get notified for any comment on issue or pull requests , I can mute notification for a particular thread but if a new thread is started I get notified again , so is there any way to unsubscribe notification for a particular organization .
I came across this page when I had a similar problem. Check to see if it helps:

The webhooks guide lists email as one of the available services, however it seems that this only kicks off when a user actually pushes a change to the repository. How can you configure it so that an email is fired off for every event concerning that repo - issues opened/closed, pull requests, etc.?
You cannot, currently. See this pull request to the github-services which would enable at least pull request notification by email, but it was never merged by GitHub.
As a work-around I currently use IFTTT on my Android device to get notified about pull requests by email.
We're are using GitHub Enterprise in our company. We have a “develop” branch where every programmer must push their work. Is there a way to get notified when someone pushes into the develop branch along with a link to a diff view, like the one you get for a pull request?
Not quite - but close enough. (You'll get notified for every commit, not push.)
For GitHub Enterprise as of mid 2014:
Go into your repository's Settings
Open the "Webhooks and Services" tab
Click "Add Service" button
Select "Email" from the long list of services
Put in an e-mail address. This can be an e-mail address that forwards to multiple e-mail addresses, or just your own if only one person/account needs e-mail notifications.
Check "Send From Author" (probably) and "Active" (definitely).
For older versions of GitHub Enterprise:
Go into your repository's Settings
Open the "Service Hooks" tab
Select "Email" from the long list of services
Put in an e-mail address. This can be an e-mail address that forwards to multiple e-mail addresses, or just your own if only one person/account needs e-mail notifications.
Check "Send From Author" (probably) and "Active" (definitely).
Done!

How about using IFTT or Zapier

This project allows you to get an e-mail when a commit gets pushed on a repository you are watching (on any branch).
Explaination: gicowa is a command-line tool written in python that lists all last commits on all GitHub repos you are watching. This tool can send its output via e-mail and can be called from your crontab. Doing that makes you receive an e-mail notification each time a commit gets pushed on a GitHub repo you are watching.
