Github Notifications: Filtering Unread Notifications Based on Merged Status

To filter unread notifications based on the merged status on GitHub, you can use the GitHub API and specify the unread and merged parameters in your request. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

1. First, make sure you have a personal access token (PAT) from your GitHub account. Go to GitHub Developer Settings to generate a new token if needed.

2. Now, use the following curl command to fetch unread notifications with merged status:

curl -H "Authorization: token YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/notifications?since=ALL&unread=true&state=merged

Replace YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual PAT.

3. This command will return a JSON object containing the unread notifications with merged status. You can parse this JSON object using a programming language of your choice (e.g., Python, JavaScript, etc.) to process the data as needed.

Here's an example in Python using the requests library:

import requests
import json

headers = {'Authorization': 'token YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN'}
response = requests.get('https://api.github.com/notifications', headers=headers, params={'since': 'ALL', 'unread': 'true', 'state': 'merged'})
data = json.loads(response.text)

for notification in data:
    print(notification['id'], notification['subject'])

Replace YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual PAT. This script will print the ID and subject of each unread notification with merged status.

You can find more information about the GitHub API in the official documentation.

Summary:

• Use the GitHub API to filter unread notifications based on the merged status.
• Specify the unread and merged parameters in your request.
• Generate a personal access token from your GitHub account.
• Parse the JSON object returned by the API using a programming language of your choice.
