In a nutshell, it contains every single permutation of 3200 characters in a lookup. Wow!</p> <h3> How to use this in your repo!</h3> <p>Now that you're ready to 100x your productivity, you can use this action by including it in a workflow like so:</p> <div class="snippet-clipboard-content position-relative overflow-auto"><pre><code>name: 'Library of Babel' on: pull_request jobs: library-of-babel: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: realSaddy/library-of-babel@v1.0.1 env: GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} </code></pre></div> <p>Whenever a brave soul creates a pull request, it will reply with a link to where the librarians at the library already wrote it... should you really merge such unoriginal code?!?</p> </div> </div> <br> <div class="gh-btn-container"><a class="gh-btn" href="https://github.com/realSaddy/library-of-babel">View on GitHub</a></div> <br> </div> <br> <h3> Additional Resources / Info </h3> <p>Hey everyone! This is my first real Github action project, and I'm quite happy with it :)! </p> <p>The action automatically runs when a new pull request is created, and responds with the location of the pull request's diff in the <a href="https://libraryofbabel.info/About.html">Library of Babel</a>, a mathematical vault of every permutation of 3200 characters!</p> <p>I did this in a long code session I just finished, so there's no big projects using this groundbreaking action --- yet! But, I've included it in <a href="https://github.com/TexasTorque/TorqueLearn">one of my open source projects</a>.</p> <p>GLHF!!</p> actionshackathon21
