Guides How-to

Direct-to-main stays visible — without a push spam firehose.

Commit digest routes post one filtered digest per push to a watched branch in Slack or Discord.

How it works

Four steps from connection to a useful conversation.

  1. 1

    Add a Commits route for the repository and destination channel (separate from review routes).

  2. 2

    Filter by branch (for example main), suppress bots, and optionally limit conventional commit types.

  3. 3

    Confirm Contents: read / Push subscription is accepted on GitHub so digests can resolve compare links.

  4. 4

    Leave review activity on its own route so PR or MR threads stay separate from digests.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting.

No. Digests only post when a Commits route matches. Pushes without a matching route are ignored.

GitHub requires it to subscribe to Push events and resolve compare or commit links. ForgeRelay does not clone repositories or store your source tree.

Yes. Destinations are independent — create a Commits route for each channel you want notified.
