GitHub Action
Free YAML Podcast Generator
v1.0
Latest version
A GitHub action to generate a podcast feed from a YAML file. YAML is much easier to read and write than XML, and this action will convert your YAML file into a valid podcast feed.
In your repository, go to Settings > Pages and select the main branch as the source. This will create a link to your page and give all of the content in the main branch a URL. Note the URL for the next step.
Create a YAML file in your repository with the following format:
title: <Podcast Title>
subtitle: <Podcast Subtitle>
author: <Author Name>
description: <Podcast Description>
link: <GitHub Pages URL>
image: <Artwork Location>
language: <Podcast Language e.g. en-us>
category: <Postcast Category e.g. Technology https://podcasters.apple.com/support/1691-apple-podcasts-categories>
format: <format of files e.g. audio/mpeg>
item:
- title: <Podcast Episode Title>
description: <Podcast Episode Description>
published: <Date Published - e.g. Thu, 12 Jan 2023 18:00:00 GMT>
file: <Filename e.g. /audio/TFIT01.mp3>
duration: <duration e.g. 00:00:36>
length: <length e.g. 576,324 (Get Info on your files)>
... Repeat for each episodeYou're also going to need your own workflow file. Here's a sample:
