Enable notifications from specific projects or branches

Notification from changes in projects are configured via the Watched projects page, available in the Settings.

Find more information at Gerrit on Watched projects documentation. An extract:

To get to know about new changes you can watch the projects that you are interested in. 
For watched projects Gerrit sends you email notifications when a change is uploaded or 
modified. You can decide on which events you want to be notified and you can filter the 
notifications by using change search expressions. 
For example 'branch:master file:^.*\.txt$' would send you email notifications only for 
changes in the master branch that touch a 'txt' file.

It is common that the members of a project team watch their own projects and 
then pick the changes that are interesting to them for review.

Project owners may also configure notifications on project-level.
