The GitHub Automation Secrets No One Tells You

So like, imagine you just shipped a feature right? And everyone tells you to tweet about it but then you realize your last 5 tweets got zero engagement except for that one reply from your college roommate asking if youre okay because you tweeted at 3am again. And now youre spiraling about whether anyone actually cares about your side project or if youre just screaming into the void while pretending to build in public. Which is weird because building in public is supposed to help but it just makes you feel more isolated somehow?

Anyway where was i going with this... oh yeah GitHub automation. So I started using Push to Post and it literally changed everything. I mean, I was skeptical at first - another automation tool, right? But this one actually works. It takes your GitHub commits and turns them into ready-to-publish social media posts. No more manual posting, no more tedious formatting.

But here's the thing though - it's not just about automating the posting process. It's about building a workflow that actually works for you. Like, have you ever tried to write a tweet about a feature you just shipped and realized you had no idea what to say? Yeah, that's because you're trying to force a narrative that isn't there. With Push to Post, you can focus on building and let the automation handle the rest.

And honestly, it's not just about saving time either. It's about building a community around your project. When you're consistently posting about your progress, people start to take notice. They start to care. And that's when the magic happens.

So yeah, GitHub automation is a game-changer. But only if you know the secrets. And I'm not just talking about using the right tools - I'm talking about building a workflow that actually works for you. That's what I've learned from automating my dev workflow, and that's what I want to share with you.

btw if manually posting your dev progress is driving you nuts, Push to Post literally automates this whole thing: https://commit.jolexhive.com/
