Github commit and issue notifier Linux

Question

I know that there are quite a lot of bash scripts and applications that can trigger a desktop notification for a commit on github, but are there any applications or bash scripts out there that can notify you for a commit and for new issues (and comments)?

Answer 1

It doesn't seem to be directly available, but you could adopt a similar approach than the GitHub-Notifier project, and grepping the content of the Issues DashBoard in order to generate notifications.

(That or calling/polling the Github V3 API on Issues)
