How to display Latest Blogs on Github Profile?

In this post, we will create a Workflow which updates our GitHub Profile with out latest Blogs on dev.to. To do this, you will need:

• A GitHub Account
• A little of passion

LINKS:

• My GitHub (You can find an example here) - https://github.com/Zemerik/Zemerik
• YouTube Video - https://youtu.be/As7KgTZOrlE
• Source code - https://gist.github.com/Zemerik/ebb6f6af7c64173adf22aab5cd2c68a7
• Support - https://discord.gg/td5xqmzEcg

1. SET UP README.MD

• The first step in this process, is to define where we want our blogs. To do that, copy paste the following code in your README.md where you want your blogs:

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

NOTE: Your blogs will be showing in the middle of the two comments.

2. WORKFLOW

• The next step in this process is to create a workflow to update our README.

• Create a blog-post-workflow.yml file in the .github/workflows/ directory. Ensure your directory has no typo's!

• We now need to write the workflow in the file which we created. Copy paste the code below into that file:
  

name: 📚Blogs
on:
  schedule:
    # Runs every hour
    - cron: '0 * * * *'
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  update-readme-with-blog:
    name: ✅Update with latest Blogs
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow@master
        with:
          max_post_count: "4"
          feed_list: "https://dev.to/feed/YOUR DEV.TO USERNAME HERE"

Remember to add your Dev.to username at the end of the URL on the last line

3. ACTIONS SETTINGS:

• Head over to the Settings tap located at the top.

• Navigate your way to Actions > General Tab from the left.

• Ensure that your settings match the settings below

4. EXECUTING:

• Finally, we are ready to run our workflow. To do so, first head over to the Actions tab on the top

• Select 📚Blogs from the menu on the left.

• Click on the Run workflow dropdown, and click the Run workflow button.

YOUR README SHOULD NOW HAVE BEEN UPDATED WITH YOUR LATEST BLOGS
