Can you see who is watching a repo on GitHub?

Question

It looks like there is an API call to view the users that watch a repo from [GithubDeveloper]:(https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/watching/#list-watchers)

List watchers
GET /repos/:owner/:repo/subscribers

Is there any way to see this list on the site? Am I interpreting the API correctly? Is watching equal to subscribing?

Answer 1

When on a repo's page, you'll see links on the right side in the "About" column that give you this information:

Or go to this URL directly:

https://github.com/{user}/{project}/watchers

@DougR same for Star and Fork, just click the number next to each button (the other 2 numbers NOT highlighted in red in my image) – Sackman

Yes I see. Thank you. I'll mark this question as correct as soon as I can (12 minute rule). This was an unasked question about GitHub, trivial though it may be. I'd appreciate an upvote. – Cainozoic

Abststracting this just a bit, can you see who upvoted questions and answers in StackOverflow? I got into a weird debate with someone because they thought I downvoted them (when I did not). – Cainozoic

Ha, so any other question, I should be able to check? – Cainozoic

If so, how? I'm tring to right now on another question – Cainozoic

Or is this a feature that comes with reputations? – Cainozoic

It is a feature that comes with being a developer at Stack Overflow. ;) – Sackman

This has recently changed. Now watchers are accessible from an "About" section in the right column. – Phosphorescent

Thanks for the answer Haney. Please consider updating it with the correct information after Github made changes. See @simleo's comment. – Doubtful

Just to be clear, there is now a link "$x watching". – Barna
