I'd like the collaborators on my project to get emails when there is a new issue, comment, or pull request.
How do I set that up? I couldn't seem to find the answer on github.
If you click "Admin" for your repository, and then "Hooks" on the left, you'll be able to select the Email Service Hook for that repository. (Click "Email".) That will only let you add one address, but you can make that a mailing list for you and your collaborators. Alternatively, you could write your own web-hook.

I'm been working in a team of four. I'm in the collaborator list. I'm able to commit, push, send pull requests and merge in our repo. My teammates can see my changes, but everyone is on the contributor list except me.
I double checked my email address, make sure the email I used in my local setting is the same with my default email in the github account.
We have changed the owner of the project once, and I'm still using the old url. Is this the reason for that?
I found the github has a complex rule for you be considered as a contributor. Here's the doc of it.
https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile
You have to commit to the main/default branch or make pull requests. To commit into other branches won't count.
Also, to use the old project url is definately one problem. In the project insight, everyone's profile is linked with their username. While mine is only a username with no user icon.
I think I just accidentally hit into one of the corner cases, but I'm still very confused of this design pattern.
I created a repository on GitHub and want to add a couple of friends to review my pull requests.
I used this source and when I enter the names of some GitHub users the Reviewers bar stays empty.
How to add arbitrary reviewers to my GitHub repository?
You can simply send the pull request link to your friends, then they can click the files changed button at the top:
Then, they can look through the diffs, and click the blue plus button on any line where they want to leave a comment:
Then they can click it, and add a comment and start a review:
You don't need to formally invite them since anyone that can read the repository can review pull requests. If you want to give them a github notification, you can mention them in the comments.
Can someone tell me like I'm 5 on subscribing to a git repository on slack? My google-fu is not giving any answers.
I have five repositories, none of which I'm the owner on. I want a slack notification when there's a push to these repositories. If I type /github help I get a list of commands and it says I should be able to subscribe by "/github subscribe owner/repository"
I'm not sure which people on my team "own" the repository and I'm not sure where this information is in github.
I read somewhere I could just do /github subscribe and paste the full https link, but I get this back
If I click Install button I get a page that says "Where do you want to install slack?"
If I select configure under my github main repo, I get this:
If I start adding repositories, everyone on my team gets an email notification to add slack to github. I don't get an email notification. Nothing happens at all. Then everyone in the company pings me asking me why they're getting slack/github notifications. To prevent further humiliation, I just stopped trying to add the repo. I'd still like to add it though.

I just wanted to help with this part, since I recently had to figure that same thing out. The owner is the organization that your repositories belong to. So, lets say you have a repo named "RepoOne". If you click into that repo, the URL in the address bar should show: "https://github.com/[owner]/RepoOne"
So, you should be able to copy the owner and repo name from your URL and use it in the command as follows:
/github subscribe [owner]/RepoOne
Keep in mind, that only subscribes you to the isssues, pulls, commits, releases, and deployments. I like to include the reviews and comments too, so I go with:
/github subscribe [owner]/RepoOne reviews comments
I've seen Github shows name instead of a linked username in commits and I realise that the right thing to do is to link by email. However, I already have a repository with a whole bunch of commits whose email is "none#none".
On BitBucket, I can specify a per-project mapping of committer name to BitBucket account, and this has worked well enough. Is there anything like this on GitHub?
If not, what other options are there, short of leaving the commits unlinked and rewriting the entire history?
You can use .mailmap file in your repo, for mail aliased (as stated in "“Alias” git authors/committers?")
You also can add another email in your Email setting account.
But both solutions don't scale well when several authors use the same none#none 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!

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.
