Welcome to part 2 of this article series where I show you how to create a killer GitHub profile!
If you haven't read part 1, click here and follow along before reading this show.
In the previous article, I documented my process for building out my README.md
file.
I added sections for an intro, 🙋♂️About Me, 📊 My Github Stats, skills, Connect with me, ❤ Views and Followers, 🏆 Git profile Trophies.
In this second article, I will add the dynamic content injection and will get you familiar with GitHub Action workflows!
Prepping for the Magic
Now that the README.md
file is complete without any workflows, I started working on the fun part — the dynamic injection.
There are two main portions of the file that need dynamic content injection — the blog section and Recent Activity section.
Listing recent blog articles and Recent Activity sections are so easy — that functionality was built for me (see the linked tutorial in the previous article) and I just needed to hook up the workflow so First, i created a new folder called .github
in the root of directory.
In .github
folder, I created another folder called workflows
.
hashnode.yml file
Then I created a new file called hashnode.yml
in workflows
folder in that file, I put the following code in it then put your data:
update-readme.yml file
Then I created a new file called update-readme.yml
in workflows
folder too.
Finally, In that file, I put the following code in it, NOTE: Don't remove or replace anything:
Congratulations 🎊 🎆🎆🎆🎁, You created the best Readme file in your github profile
