I am having a notification, but cannot see it. Github shows it's from ping-plasma/plasma.to, but it's private repo and it's never was related to me. How to remove notification? Look at screenshot:

If you don't know about the repository, it was probably some scam. Even if the repo itself is legit, I've seen scam attempts where people open up new issues and tag random GitHub users. The issue/comment may have been removed since.

To remove it, you should be able to:

• Go to https://github.com/notifications
• Mark the notification
• Click "Done" (see image)

If it still doesn't work, try clearing cache and site data. If you're on Chrome, navigate here (just paste it in the URL field):

chrome://settings/content/all?searchSubpage=github

and click the trash icon next to GitHub. You'll have to login again and then it will hopefully have disappeared.

Let me know if it helped.

The issue is that the notification isn't showing up on the notifications list. For me, the only places I see there is a notification is with the blue badge on top the notifications icon and on the issue counts on the sidebar on the left.

If it still doesn't work, try clearing cache and site data. If you're on Chrome, navigate here (just paste it in the URL field):

chrome://settings/content/all?searchSubpage=github

I have tried clearing cache but that didn't change anything

Even if you can’t open it, you should see it listed.

I have this too - there are no notifications to dismiss, even if I filter by the repo.

The pagination in the bottom right says '1-0 of 1', if that helps.

Second this, I have the same Issue, the repo is also named plasma.to.

I'm affected as well, also by ping-plasma.

Hi @egoroof,

You can use the GitHub CLI to mark the notifications as read:

gh api notifications\?all=true | jq -r 'map(select(.unread) | .id)[]' | xargs -L1 sh -c 'gh api -X PATCH notifications/threads/$0'

To remove them from the sidebar, I used:

gh api notifications\?all=true | jq -r '.[] | select(.subject.title | test("(paradigm|Lido|gitcoin)"; "i")) | .id' \
| xargs -L1 -I{} gh api \
  --method DELETE \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
  /notifications/threads/{}

If you don’t have the CLI installed, you can add it via Homebrew:

brew install gh
