🚀 Elevate Your GitHub Profile with the Merged PRs GitHub Action

Introduction

I am excited to share my newest project, Merged PRs GitHub Action, in the spirit of developing solid coding habits.

This project is designed to automatically track and display the number of merged pull requests in your GitHub repository, providing you with a visual representation of your contributions.

The project idea is inspired by github-activity-readme. However, there was a catch: the activity showed all closed, opened, commented, merged PRs/issues, and comments, without the option to specify which activities to showcase on the profile. This led me to create this simple project which makes use of a python script and GitHub Action to only update the Merged PRs on your profile.

By integrating this GitHub Action, you'll not only streamline your workflow but also gain valuable insights into your merged project's activity.

You can watch it in action on my GitHub Profile

Happy coding! 🚀
