To show your latest dev.to posts in the GitHub page readme is awesome 🌈, because:

1. Show you're actively creating blogs ✍️
2. Github page's viewers become familiar with your Dev.to blog 🚀

But how to achieve this:

1. The first step is ( Create a username repo )

Make a repository in your GitHub page with your own username - if you haven't created that yet.

And will appear in your profile like this.

2. Edit readme.md File

Copy/Paste the code below, where you wanna your latest blogs appear in the readme.md file.

they won't appear in preview mode.

## Latest Blog posts

<!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->

3. Create a .github folder

Clone your repository in your device using git clone [your repo's address].
like this git clone https://github.com/vito-mohagheghian/vito-mohagheghian.git

Make new a new folder named .github and inside of this, make a new folder named workflows, then create a new folder like this: blog-post-workflow.yml

Modify .yml file

Copy/Paste the code below and just replace your dev.to username with mine in feed_list.
