GitHub Action
Push updates to your profile page
v1
GitHub Action to push updates to your special profile repo.
GitHub announced a special repository (github_username/github_username) so that its README.md file will appear on your profile page. People liked it a lot and started using some static pages with fancy texts and images. This GitHub action helps you to add a section that is updated dynamically when you commit a repository that uses this action. Please feel free to fork it or contribute to it.
Follow the steps;
- Create your special repository if not exists.
- Add
<!-- START gadpp -->
add the end of the README.md file of the special repo. - Create a personal access token here and set the
repo
permission. - Add the access token created in previous step to the repository (that uses this action) as a secret with name
API_TOKEN_GITHUB
. - Create the YML file for the action under
.github/workflows
. You can use the sample given below.
