Why GitHub Automation is a Total Game-Changer for Devs

So, let's talk about GitHub automation. Or, rather, the lack thereof. Like, I know we're all devs here, but seriously, who has the time to manually post their commits on social media? It's like, I get it, visibility is important, but come on. There are better ways to spend our time.

Anyway, that's basically what prompted me to dive into GitHub automation. And, spoiler alert, it's been a total game-changer. I mean, I can finally focus on building instead of wasting time on manual posting.

But, before we dive into the good stuff, let me ask you - have you ever tried to automate your GitHub workflow? Like, seriously tried? Because, if so, you know how frustrating it can be. I mean, there are so many tools out there that promise to make it easy, but honestly, most of them are just a bunch of fluff.

Which is why I was so surprised when I stumbled upon Push to Draft. It's like, this tool literally automates your entire GitHub workflow, from commits to social media posts. I mean, it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close.

So, here's how it works. You set up Push to Draft, connect it to your GitHub account, and voilà! Your commits are automatically turned into social media posts. Like, actual posts with context and everything. It's not just some generic 'Hey, I just pushed a commit!' nonsense.

And, honestly, it's been a total lifesaver. I mean, I can finally focus on building without worrying about promoting my work. Because, let's be real, building in public is all about visibility. And, with Push to Draft, I can finally get that visibility without sacrificing my sanity.

Of course, there are some downsides. Like, sometimes the posts can feel a bit... corporate. You know, too polished. But, hey, that's a small price to pay for the convenience.

Anyway, if you're still stuck in theStone Ages of manual posting, I highly recommend giving Push to Draft a shot. It's literally changed the way I approach building in public. And, who knows, it might just do the same for you.

btw if you're tired of wasting time on manual posting, Push to Draft literally automates this whole thing: https://commit.jolexhive.com/
