Why does my image show a broken link on my profile?

1. Ensure your GitHub Action workflow has run at least once. You can trigger it manually under Actions $\rightarrow$ Update Tulkun $\rightarrow$ Run workflow.
2. Verify that the orphan branch output exists in your repository.
3. Check that your README image source matches:

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/<YOUR_USERNAME>/output/tulkun/tulkun.gif

Does updating the GIF daily bloat my Git repository?

No. Unlike simple commit scripts that append commits to main, git-tulkun commits to an orphan branch named output. Only the latest commit is retained, keeping your main branch history completely clean.
