  • Your issue or pull request was reopened.
  • Your review was requested on a pull request.
  • You were assigned to an issue or pull request.
  • You referenced an issue or pull request via a commit.
  • You commented on an issue or pull request.

  • Making commits
  • Opening issues
  • Commenting on issues
  • Opening pull requests

The list of top repositories cannot be edited, but repositories will drop off the list 1 year after you last interacted with them.

The main section of your dashboard has two activity feeds:

  • Following: Activity by people you follow and from repositories you watch.
