The ability to filter the notifications so that only specified author and/or project notifications are displayed. This feature will reduce the clutter of GitHub notifications to only show what one is interested in whether it is projects or authors.

The ```-a || --important_authors``` flag will only display notifications that come from a set of specified authors.
The ```-p || --important_project``` flag will only display notifications that come from a set of specified projects.

These flags can work in combination, or by themselves. In addition, the project filtering can work for *global* projects (that is to display any notification from a project based only on the project's name) or *unique* projects (that is to display any notification from a project based on matching the *user/project_name*).

To ensure some persistence a ```config.txt``` file should be added in the ```~/.github-notifier/``` directory to contain author and project names.
