How to use

  1. Star this repo 😛
  2. Go to your repository
  3. Add the following section to your README.md file.
    Just make sure that you use <!-- ADVICE:START --><!-- ADVICE:END --> in your readme.
    The workflow will replace this comment with the amazing advice:
    <!-- ADVICE:START -->
    <!-- ADVICE:END -->
  4. Create a folder named .github and create a workflows folder inside it, if it doesn't exist.
  5. Create a new file named random-advice-workflow.yml with the following contents inside the workflows folder:
name: Advice workflow
on:
  push:
  schedule: # Run workflow automatically
    - cron: '0 * * * *' # Runs every hour, on the hour

  # Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
  workflow_dispatch:

# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
jobs:
  update-readme-with-quote:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup node 14
        uses: actions/setup-node@v2
        with:
          node-version: 14.x
      - name: pull script to get quote
        uses: ashutoshkrris/random-advice-workflow@main
      - name: Commit and push changes
        run: |
          git config --global user.name "ashutoshkrris"
          git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
          git add -A
          git commit -m "New Advice added"
          git push
  1. Commit and wait for it to run automatically or you can also trigger it manually to see the result instantly. To trigger the workflow manually.

Thanks to

  • Madhav Jha for his brilliant quote-workflow that I have been using and which inspired me to make this random-advice-workflow of my own. I got to learn a lot of stuff from reading his code and README.
