Discussion on: Static Readme Regeneration

[Waylon Walker]

Love your graphics here! I am using python to generate mine. For a bit I was using a template just like you are to insert my last 5 twitter followers, but Not I am creating an animated svg with pretty much the same python script. Now though the readme doesn't need touched, just the svg.

While building mine I discovered an amazing action stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4 which automatically commits whatever files you tell it to, without hand configuring everything.

Automatically Commit changed Files back to Github with Github Actions

git-auto-commit Action

The GitHub Action for committing files for the 80% use case.

This GitHub Action automatically commits files which have been changed during a Workflow run and pushes the commit back to GitHub.
The default committer is "GitHub Actions [e-mail]", and the default author of the commit is "Your GitHub Username [e-mail]...".

This Action has been inspired and adapted from the auto-commit-Action of the Canadian Digital Service and this commit-Action by Eric Johnson.

Usage

Add the following step at the end of your job, after other steps that might add or change files.

- uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
  with
    # Required
    commit_message: Apply automatic changes
    # Optional branch to push to, defaults to the current branch
    branch: feature-123
    # Optional options appended to `git-commit`
    # See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit for a list of available options
    commit_options: '--no-verify --signoff'
    # Optional glob pattern
