README.md

Readme Pull Requests

ReadmePullRequests is designed to automate the process of updating the README.md file in a GitHub repository whenever a pull request (PR) is created.

In addition to automating the update of the README.md file, the workflow also offers advanced customization options:

• Bold Selected Repositories: You can choose to highlight specific repositories by making them bold in the README.md file. This allows you to emphasize certain repositories among the list that the workflow generates.

• Hide Specific Repositories: The workflow provides an option to exclude certain repositories from appearing in the README.md file. This is useful if you want to keep the focus on only the most relevant repositories.

• Direct Links to Pull Requests: You have the option to include direct links to specific pull requests within the README.md. This feature allows users to quickly access the pull requests associated with the changes, providing more context or facilitating easier navigation.

These features make the workflow highly flexible, allowing you to tailor the content of your README.md file to suit your project's needs while maintaining up-to-date documentation.

Instructions

1. Add the comment <!-- PULL_REQUESTS --> (entry point) within README.md.

2. Now you have to create a workflow file.

.github/workflows/ReadmePullRequests.yml

name: Update ReadmePullRequests

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '*/30 * * * *'
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Update this repo's README with recent activity

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: jcabak/ReadmePullRequests@master
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

3. Create a GitHub token. You have to create a personal access token. You can find more information here.

4. Go to your repository > Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions > New repository secret Secret part of repository for using it and call it as GH_TOKEN and paste your token in the value part.

The above job runs every half an hour, you can change it as you wish based on the cron syntax.
