commit-bot

A GitHub Action that automatically increments a counter in numeral.txt and commits changes with random probability to generate 1-7 commits per day.

How it works

• Schedule: Runs every 2 hours (12 times per day)
• Random Commits: 35% chance to actually commit changes
• Expected Activity: 3-5 commits per day on average, with natural variance of 1-7 commits
• Counter: Tracks incrementing numbers in numeral.txt

Features

• ✅ Automated scheduling via GitHub Actions cron
• ✅ Random commit probability for natural variability
• ✅ Clean commit messages showing increment progression
• ✅ Uses built-in GITHUB_TOKEN for authentication
• ✅ Manual trigger support via workflow_dispatch

Environment Variables

The action uses the following:

• GITHUB_TOKEN (automatically provided by GitHub Actions)
• Environment variables are read but not currently used (ready for future extensions)

Files

• numeral.txt - Contains the current counter value
• .github/workflows/increment-commit.yml - The main workflow definition

Manual Testing

You can manually trigger the workflow from the Actions tab in GitHub to test it immediately.
