How do I "unwatch" a repo?

[Aviation6]

I'm pretty new to the Git workflow so I don't know how to unwatch a repo as there isn't a button that says "unwatch"

I'd really appreciate it if someone told me how silly I am being and what obvious button I need to click

Thanks

You should be able to "unwatch" in the upper-right corner - "Watch" drop down settings by selecting "Ignore":

ignoring notifictions isn't the same as not watching it.

You can simply unwatch by clicking on the unwatch drop down at the top corner, it would probably have the All activity option ticked so just select the Participating and @mentions option and you would be clear.

To unwach a repo, In the left sidebar, under the list of repositories, use the "Manage notifications" drop-down to click Watched repositories. On the watched repositories page, after you've evaluated the repositories you're watching, choose whether to: Unwatch a repository.

To unwatch the repo, just select the Participating and @mentions option on that dropdown

Thanks. Github could make it more clear that this option unwatches a repo.

Is there no way to permanently unwatch a repo? The current method of simply selecting "ignore" still has the repo show up on your watch list.

On the Watch dropdown, Click on participating and @mentions. That should unwatch a repo permanently.

Shitty UX to be honest

I think github do this on purpose, it was named "unwatch" several years ago, but they changed it in order get more attention for repositories, when many people choose to ignore, it's still showing them watching, this is crazy for people who don't want to be seen, for example on some copycats project someone finally notice they are being fooled. Also is causing trouble for people like me who wants a clean watching list. The standard way is to name those options such as "watch", "unwatch", "block all" etc., especially when you block it it shouldn't appear on your watching list unlike this "ignore" button. Current naming and behavior drive me crazy for months. Thanks for people who inserted this post and replied this question.
