I am new to Github and giving feedback to Github, so if this is the wrong place to post this, I would love to be pointed in the right direction :)

I keep getting Emails from Github with titles and content like: "Copilot CLI replaces your browser tabs." and "Copilot CLI debugs failed CI in under 2 minutes. - Skip the tabs and get the context you need. "

This is clearly and advertisement for Copilot, which i DO NOT want to receive in my professional inbox.

At the bottom of the email, where an unsubscribe link would usually be found, I simply see: "You are receiving this because you are a GitHub customer. "

Is there not a way to unsubscribe from these? I'm not sure about EU regulation on the matter, but I'm fairly sure unsolicited advertising with no option of unsubscribing is against some kind of rule. It would suck if the "unsubscribe method" is to stop being a GitHub Customer.

what?

https://github.com/settings/emails
click the three dots next to your email address then "manage email preferences" and you can unsubscribe from chosen topics and save your preferences

Damn, that was hidden well 😅
Thanks for the help! I hope they put the unsubscribe link in the emails themselves.
