create-pull-request VS badge-generator

Read the action.yml to find the entry point

Something like this, according to the the pr action readme, branch is for the pr branch name, the action will create it for you, base is for target branch, both can be omitted. https://github.com/peter-evans/create-pull-request

You can create a pull request by using the Create Pull request action in our workflow. A cool feature here is that you can add some customization related to your pull request that can help in the pull request review process, including labels and a defined branch name, for example:

Unfortunately, due to security limitations, the automated PR that your new upgrade workflow generates will not have GH Actions checks run against it. See issue on the Create PR action discussing this.

To customize the workflow further, you can refer to this action.

I use a workflow similar to the one above that is implemented in my Badge Generator web app, which is built in Vue and Yarn.

Looking through my classmates' contributions for Hacktoberfest, I found badge-generator - a cool tool that helps us create markdown badges for our documentations. The owner wants to implement the dark mode for the site, and since the tool is written with VueJS, I decided to challenge myself as I could also continue to learn this framework.

Eventually, I remembered one of the repos that I've used before to contribute to one of the Hacktoberfest issues, I thought that it would be nice to give back (hint hint😉😉😉 something to think about when looking for an issue... hint😉) to that repo. I quickly gave up everything I was doing and went to check it out to see if it is even active and if it has any open issues I could work on. To my surprise, no one except the author has ever contributed to that before, so I am now officially one of the first contributors there.😋

After browsing for a while, I found MichaelCurrin's project, badge-generator. The project is a simple interface for simplifying the creation of badges, used in several open source projects to show things like the version number of the project, whether the project is currently building, etc. A badge usually looks like this:

I learned was that even if an issue seems small and something that you can handle, it doesn't mean you will not learn a lot out of it. During the process, I learned about a handy open source repo that helps to generate badges to make README files look prettier. And a cool tool that has all the emojis you need for your frontend.
