Example repository setup for synchronizing markdown files as dev.to articles, using assets hosted on GitHub.
-
Select Use this template on GitHub. This will create a new repository on your account from this template.
-
Go to https://developers.forem.com/api/#section/Authentication/api_key and follow the Getting an API key instructions to generate your own dev.to API key.
-
Select the Settings tab on your GitHub repository, then go to the Secrets section.
-
Add a secret called DEVTO_TOKEN with the value of your dev.to API key.
Now your articles are ready to be published on dev.to! 🎉
Have a look a the example article in posts/example.md to see how it works, then you just have to commit and push your changes to have them reflected on dev.to.
This template is based on the publish-devto action, which uses under the hood the devto-cli to publish your articles.
You can find more information about how it works in the CLI readme.
