When repositories create issues with mass @mentions and then get deleted, they leave behind \"ghost\" notifications due to a GitHub bug that prevents them from being cleared through the GitHub UI. This tool finds and cleans them up, restoring your notification sanity. See more information [here][github-discussion]. 🎯 Problem Spam repositories create issues, tag thousands of users via @mentions, then get deleted by GitHub. This leaves \"phantom notifications\" that: - 🔵 Show persistent blue dot on notification bell - 👻 Display \"1-0 of X\" in notification count - 🚫 Cannot be cleared through GitHub UI - 😤 Drive developers crazy ✨ Solution gh-gonest automatically finds and removes these phantom notifications by: 1. Scanning all your notifications 2. Detecting phantom notifications from deleted repos (404 responses) 3. Cleaning them via read → done → unsubscribe sequence 👻 Why gh-gonest? The gh-gonest extension approach focuses on: - Selective targeting : Only marks ghost notifications as done, preserving all legitimate notifications - Automated detection : Automatically identifies phantom notifications by checking for 404 repository responses - no manual notification ID lookup required - No manual token generation : Leverages existing gh auth login setup without requiring manual GitHub token creation with specific permissions - Safe prev","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/emmanuel-ferdman","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/emmanuel-ferdman/gh-gonest/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
