Unread Notifications

[set]

Github says "you have unread notifications" in notifications page but cannot list. I cannot see any notifications, but there is notification badge. Do you know why?

I do have this issue. I reload the page or clear cache to fix it.

I've got the same issue and reloading / clearing the cache does not fix it for me.

I've had the exact same issue multiple times. To "force-clear" all notifications I run the following command in the terminal:

gh api \
  --method PUT \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  /notifications \
  -f last_read_at='2022-06-10T00:00:00Z' \
  -F read=true 

Such that last_read_at is the current date/time in UTC.

If you're not used to running gh api commands, you'll need to provide your terminal with a Personal Access Token with the notifications scope.

• Go to the Personal Access Token page in your settings.
• Click Generate New Token.
• Name it whatever you like, e.g. "Clearing Unread Notifications".
• Select the "notifications" scope on the table below.
• Click Generate token and copy the API Token displayed.
• In your terminal, make that token available to gh api by running export GH_TOKEN="PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE".
• Now, run the command above such that last_read_at is the current date/time in UTC (or any date in the future).
