Developers create hundreds of repositories, and hardly a few of them are presentable and showcased on social media/LinkedIn. This GitHub action allows you to generate your self-updating portfolio consisting of Projects, Hackathons, or maybe the latest Blogs.

An index file is pushed by this action which with the help of GitHub pages can be deployed as soon as it is committed to the repository. If you write blogs, then you can add Blog Post Workflow to the main workflow for updating your portfolio. !

Getting Your Profile Ready

• The repositories need to have a project topic to add to the project section and a hackathon topic to add them in the hackathon section. If you add both the topics to the same repository then it will be reflected in both sections!

• A GitHub personal access token will be needed which can be obtained by going to Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens.

  

Note: If you give private repositories access then they will be added to the sections but their links will not work

Repository Setup

GitHub actions can be integrated into any repository. Create a new folder called .github/workflows/<any-name>.yml. Paste the following starter code:

name: Latest portfolio
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * *'
    # This makes the action run at the end of every day. Customize this accordingly or you can also trigger this action for GitHub events (Pull, Push). Check the GitHub actions page for that.
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  updating-portfolio:
    name: update-index-with-project

Regarding Blog Updates

There is an action called Blog Post Workflow. You can easily integrate this in your workflow via this template: (Highly recommended!)

name: Latest blog post workflow
on:
  push: # Every time index.html is pushed, this action runs and updates the blogs section!

jobs:
  update-readme-with-blog:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow@master
        with:
          feed_list: <Your feedlist>
          max_post_count: <Your Choice>
          readme_path: index.html
          template: "<h2 class='h2-blog'><a class='a-lightblue' href=$url>$title</a></h2>" # It is suggested not to modify this
          gh_token: ${{ secrets.TOKEN }}

Make sure to enable the blogs parameter in the main workflow:
