Quote workflow

Quote sample

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
– Wayne Dyer.

How to use

1. Star this repo 😛
2. Go to your repository
3. Add the following section to your README.md file.
   Just make sure that you use <!-- QUOTE:START --><!-- QUOTE:END --> in your readme.
   The workflow will replace this comment with the amazing quotes:

   <!-- QUOTE:START -->
   <!-- QUOTE:END -->

4. Create a folder named .github and create a workflows folder inside it, if it doesn't exist.
5. Create a new file named quote-workflow.yml with the following contents inside the workflows folder:

name: Quote workflow
on:
  push:
  schedule: # Run workflow automatically
    - cron: '0 */6 * * *' # Runs every six hour

  # Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
  workflow_dispatch:

# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
jobs:
  update-readme-with-quote:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: pull script to get quote
        uses: jhamadhav/quote-workflow@main
      - name: Commit and push changes
        run: |
          git config --global user.name "jhamadhav"
          git config --global user.email "contact@gmail.com"
          git add -A
          git commit -m "New Quote added"
          git push

1. Commit and wait for it to run automatically or you can also trigger it manually to see the result instantly. To trigger the workflow manually.

Thanks to

• freeCodeCamp for making this amazing quote api free for all

• Gautam krishna R for his brilliant blog-post-workflow that I have been using and which inspired me to make this quote-workflow of my own. I got to learn a lot of stuff from reading his code and README.

• Suraj Jha with whom I discussed and lot and we both learned bunch of things while exploring github actions/workflow and more
