Rewarding Github Action

My Workflow

There are many open source contributors who are not getting rewarded and working really hard
Creators of the project have to just include a step to there existing Github actions for rewarding their contributors. Whenever the creator includes this action, when there is a contributor making either a push to master or pull_request the actions detect the commits and rewards contributors based on their number of commits. The points scored by the contributors can be adjusted as a secret to the project by the owner. These are kept track on a server at here
Now anyone who wants to reward the contributors can see the contribution made by the user and reward them according to there points. This can also act as a metric to how much the user has contributed to open source. Hence this will really be helpful to the contributors.

Repo level rewarding is also added so that organizations conducting competitions can reward users based on commits to the repo. This can be found here

Actions Hackathon Journey

So GitHub and Dev have partnered and released the new Github Actions Hackathon where you need to create a Github action that is useful to the open-source community. There are many topics like IoT or Deployments etc. but there is an option (Wacky Wildcards) where you're free to express your own ideas and build a solution.

Idea

So basically my idea is to reward the opensource contributors based on there commits and pull requests.

So the flow goes like this.
whenever an creator opens an open-source project they set rewarding points to the project as a secret and adds this GitHub action into his project. From there on whenever a contributor makes a pull request he is rewarded with those number of points which were set by the creator.

For storing the points I firstly thought of rewarding some cryptocurrency token but it involves the contributor to own a crypto wallet and many other problems. So to tackle this problem I have created a small Node application that keeps track of user and his points and then based on those points he can be rewarded.

This my first online hackathon and I'm excited to see how this works for me.

Contributions are highly encouraged
