My Workflow
Ever wondered, how much carbon gets produced every time someone visits your site? You can now do that, and track the changes in the effects on the environment on every push or PR! With the help of website carbon and their API, you can get a badge in your README and an artifact on every workflow run on where your projects currently sit.
Here is how the badge can look like:

Upload-Artifact v3
This uploads artifacts from your workflow allowing you to share data between jobs and store data once a workflow is complete.
See also download-artifact.
What's new
- Easier upload
- Specify a wildcard pattern
- Specify an individual file
- Specify a directory (previously you were limited to only this option)
- Multi path upload
- Use a combination of individual files, wildcards or directories
- Support for excluding certain files
- Upload an artifact without providing a name
- Fix for artifact uploads sometimes not working with containers
- Proxy support out of the box
- Port entire action to typescript from a runner plugin so it is easier to collaborate and accept contributions
Refer here for the previous version
Usage
See action.yml
Upload an Individual File
steps
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- run: mkdir -p path/to/artifact
- run: echo hello > path/to/artifact/world.txt
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
with:
name: my-artifact

github-push-action
GitHub actions to push back to repository eg. updated code
GitHub Action for GitHub Push
The GitHub Actions for pushing to GitHub repository local changes authorizing using GitHub token.
With ease:
- update new code placed in the repository, e.g. by running a linter on it,
- track changes in script results using Git as archive,
- publish page using GitHub-Pages,
- mirror changes to a separate repository.
Usage
Example Workflow file
An example workflow to authenticate with GitHub Platform:
jobs
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
persist-credentials: false # otherwise, the token used is the GITHUB_TOKEN, instead of your personal access token.
fetch-depth: 0 # otherwise, there would be errors pushing refs to the destination repository.

ncc
Compile a Node.js project into a single file. Supports TypeScript, binary addons, dynamic requires.
ncc
Simple CLI for compiling a Node.js module into a single file together with all its dependencies, gcc-style.
Motivation
- Publish minimal packages to npm
- Only ship relevant app code to serverless environments
- Don't waste time configuring bundlers
- Generally faster bootup time and less I/O overhead
- Compiled language-like experience (e.g.:
go)
Design goals
- Zero configuration
- TypeScript built-in
- Only supports Node.js programs as input / output
- Support all Node.js patterns and npm modules
Usage
Installation
npm i -g @vercel/ncc
Usage
$ ncc <cmd> <opts>
Eg:
$ ncc build input.js -o dist
If building an .mjs or .js module inside a "type": "module" package boundary, an ES module output will be created automatically.
Outputs the Node.js compact build of input.js into dist/index.js.
Note: If the input file is using a
.cjsextension, then so will the corresponding output file This is useful for packages that want…

This is such a cool idea! Also, perfect cover image, haha!
Thanks very much, very happy, that you enjoyed it. Any ideas how the project could improve?
I think it might be cool if the user could pick a different stat to highlight than the percentage of how green it is compared to other sites. I noticed there are other stats on this page - websitecarbon.com/website. Perhaps it'd be cool if you could choose to highlight how much CO2 is produced every time someone visits your page.
