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

Answer 2

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