Subscribing to a git repository on slack

Question

Can someone tell me like I'm 5 on subscribing to a git repository on slack? My google-fu is not giving any answers.

I have five repositories, none of which I'm the owner on. I want a slack notification when there's a push to these repositories. If I type /github help I get a list of commands and it says I should be able to subscribe by "/github subscribe owner/repository"

I'm not sure which people on my team "own" the repository and I'm not sure where this information is in github.

I read somewhere I could just do /github subscribe and paste the full https link, but I get this back

If I click Install button I get a page that says "Where do you want to install slack?"

If I select configure under my github main repo, I get this:

If I start adding repositories, everyone on my team gets an email notification to add slack to github. I don't get an email notification. Nothing happens at all. Then everyone in the company pings me asking me why they're getting slack/github notifications. To prevent further humiliation, I just stopped trying to add the repo. I'd still like to add it though.

I just wanted to help with this part, since I recently had to figure that same thing out. The owner is the organization that your repositories belong to. So, lets say you have a repo named "RepoOne". If you click into that repo, the URL in the address bar should show: "https://github.com/[owner]/RepoOne"

So, you should be able to copy the owner and repo name from your URL and use it in the command as follows:

/github subscribe [owner]/RepoOne

Keep in mind, that only subscribes you to the isssues, pulls, commits, releases, and deployments. I like to include the reviews and comments too, so I go with:

/github subscribe [owner]/RepoOne reviews comments
