Watch a repository

Watch a repository you can read: give level, with events for custom; or, as booleans, subscribed (all its activity, or with false, only what you take part in) and ignored (nothing at all).

PUT/repos/{owner}/{name}/subscription

Returns how you watch it now.

`level`	You hear of
`participating`	What you take part in, or are mentioned in (the default)
`all`	Every issue and pull request opened, commented on, closed or merged, and every deployment
`custom`	What you take part in, and the kinds in `events`: `issues`, `pulls`, `deployments`, `security`
`ignore`	Nothing, not even a mention

Instead of level, {"subscribed": true} is all, {"subscribed": false} is participating and {"ignored": true} is ignore.

Authentication: Required. Send an access token as Authorization: Bearer.
MCP tool: notifications with action watch, and the same inputs
Scope: An access token needs notifications:write.
