GitHub Action for updating Clojure Events failing

[weavejester]

The last event on the Clojure community events page is from last October, but there's been quite a few events on the Zulip events feed since then.

I suspect this is due to an error in the publish-events.yml GitHub Action. The action checks for the word "modified" in git status, but if only new files are added, this doesn't occur.

Instead, may I suggest using git diff --quiet --cached to check to see if there's any staged differences after running git add content/events. This will return an exit code of 0 only if there are no differences, so we can use the inverse to check to see if there should be an update.

          git add content/events
          if ! git diff --quiet --cached
          then
              git commit -m 'update events'
              git push
          fi

Thanks! I’ve been meaning to check into this just hadn’t gotten to it yet.
