Comment Charm - GitHub Action

Transform your PR comments with magical compliments and cheeky insults using GitHub Actions!

🚀 Overview

Comment Charm is a GitHub workflow that adds a fun element to your pull requests by automatically generating witty compliments or playful insults for comments. It's a great way to make the code review process more lighthearted and engaging. After adding a workflow, just create a comment in any of your PRs using a keyword. For example, Great first PR! :compliment: could be transformed into Great first PR! You are making code reviews feel like a walk in the park..

✨ Features

• Automatically triggers on PR events.
• Generates random compliments or insults for comment feedback.
• Fully customizable behavior.

🛠️ Setup & Installation

To add Comment Charm to your project, follow these steps:

• Create the GitHub Actions workflow file:

name: Replace Keywords with Compliments and Insults

on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created, edited]

jobs:
  replace-keywords:
    if: github.actor != 'github-actions[bot]' # Ensure that the action isn't triggered by the bot itself
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Replace keywords
        uses: bellangelo/comment-charm@v1
        with:
          comment-body: "${{ github.event.comment.body }}"
          comment-id: ${{ github.event.comment.id }}

Commit the workflow file to the .github/workflows/ directory of your repository.

🔑 Default keywords

Comment Charm has 2 build-in keywords for English and Greek.

• :compliment: - Generates a random compliment.
• :insult: - Generates a random insult.

The default language is English ( en ). To change the language to Greek ( el ), add the language input to the action:

- name: Replace keywords
  uses: bellangelo/comment-charm@v1
  with:
    language: 'el'
    comment-body: "${{ github.event.comment.body }}"
    comment-id: ${{ github.event.comment.id }}

Comment Charm also contains a Christmas version of these languages. You can use them by passing either en-christmas or el-christmas to the language input.

✏️ Custom keywords

To use your own custom keywords you can just pass your file path to the action:

- name: Replace keywords
  uses: bellangelo/comment-charm@v1
  with:
    language-path: 'path/to/your/keywords.json'
    comment-body: "${{ github.event.comment.body }}"
    comment-id: ${{ github.event.comment.id }}

🎭 Fun alternative

Don't restrict yourself to only :compliment: and :insult:. You can use any keyword you like. For example, you could use a custom :gif: to attach a random gif to your comment.
