Language Check

My Workflow

Language Check action automatically filters issues and pull requests that contains objectionable language (profane words) and instantly reports the action URL on your chosen Slack channel.

This workflow is a must-have for all the developers out there who contribute to open source projects and may get trashed for their hard work 🤦🏻‍♀️

Maintaining sanity in the open source community is essential AF. 😉

This workflow is triggered each time there is an issue is opened, or there is a new comment on an existing issue, or there is a pull request.

⚠️ To test this flow by yourself, you need to have a #blockchain channel in your workspace. Or, you can edit the yml file and change SLACK_CHANNEL there.

⚠️ You also need to generate SLACK_WEBHOOK token for your own Slack workspace and save it in GitHub secrets. To set it up, see this. The slack channel I am using: degen-gh-actions.slack.com. So, the token for this workspace would be different than yours.

Additional Resources / Info

This workflow makes use of two already existing GitHub actions:

  1. Mind your language action: I forked it and tweaked the entrypoint.sh to use conditional jobs and workflows offered by GitHub Actions API.
  2. Slack Notify - GitHub Action: This action is highly customizable, you can send in parameters in the form of environment variables.

Feel free to reach out in case of any issue.

Cheers.✌️
