Can you see who is watching a repo on GitHub?


It looks like there is an API call to view the users that watch a repo from [GithubDeveloper]:(https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/watching/#list-watchers)

List watchers
GET /repos/:owner/:repo/subscribers

Is there any way to see this list on the site? Am I interpreting the API correctly? Is watching equal to subscribing?


Solution

  • When on a repo's page, you'll see links on the right side in the "About" column that give you this information:

    Repo Watchers

    Or go to this URL directly:

    https://github.com/{user}/{project}/watchers
