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 basically, I was trying to automate my GitHub commits into social media posts because who has time for that manual work? But then I realized theres a lot more to it than just slapping a script together. Like, have you tried using GitHub Actions? Its a whole different world.
Here's the thing though, most GitHub automation tutorials are super basic. Theyre like 'oh just use this one script and youre good to go' but thats not how it works. You need to understand the underlying workflow, the commit message psychology, and the platform-specific formatting. And dont even get me started on hashtag control.
So yeah, I learned the hard way. I spent weeks trying to get my automation script to work and it was a nightmare. But then I stumbled upon Push to Post and it literally changed the game. I mean, it automates the whole commit-to-post pipeline and its so seamless. No more manual posting, no more tedious formatting.
But honestly, Push to Post wasnt the only thing that helped me. I also learned to focus on building in public consistently, even when it feels like no one is watching. And thats the secret to making GitHub automation work. Its not just about the tools, its about the mindset.
btw if manually posting your dev progress is driving you nuts, Push to Post literally automates this whole thing: https://commit.jolexhive.com/
Anyway, thats my whole thing about GitHub automation. Its not easy, but its worth it. And if youre struggling, just know youre not alone. Weve all been there.
