Description

Is there a possibility of adding a commits event as well to the supported events?
That would allow to keep track of all the recent commits as that is the only major activity missing.

What do you mean with "secret commits"? If you mean commits towards a private repository, then you have to use a Personal Access Token with the repo scope, as events related to private repositories are not something accessible in GitHub's Public Events API using the default GitHub Token (It may not even work at all. Depends on how the Events API behaves with what token).

No I meant public commits only!!

It is possible to add. However, since commits are quite frequent events. It would displace more significant events immediately.
So the commit event has not been added.

What are your views @Andre601 @PuneetGopinath ?

If it was added, then it should be disabled by default similar to the comments activity.

As of current version, we cannot disable events by default. User will have to do it manually.
This was done in one of the previous releases to fix an issue.
