VS/Git: How to create a notification (alert?) / View History whenever code in a specific solution goes to a Pull Request (PR)

Hi All

I'm running Visual Studio Pro 2017, and have access to about 100+ solutions for SQL Server databases we have here.  I'm assigned to teams that are heavy users to two specific solution/databases, and am expected to speak to any database change for those databases.

Question:  How can I either...
1  Do a View History on an entire solution?  In TFS I could do this by clicking on the Solution file and then right-click > View History, but in Git this only works for the solution file itself and not the entire solution.
2  Create a notification (alert?) that sends an email anytime anybody makes a change to a specific solution, and then creates a Pull Request (PR) on it?   Going into User Settings > New Subscription, it only allows me to differentiate by branch, and not by solution.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.  Had to install Visual Studio Code for Windows first, then was able to install Git Notify.  Will dig into it.

np.  I'm a Git N00b as my previous ten-ish years was all TFS, so this is a pretty decent learning curve.

Cleaning up older questions, and I've since left this employer and no longer work in a Git shop, so marking as the answer.
