✨ Emojis and Statistics

He has github readme stats and another stats widget showing the languages used. I tried the latter for myself and it seemed to be way off.

A big shoutout to the creators of the README-Stats project for their awesome theme suite!

All that is standard , let's compound this process by adding programming language stats . There's a project on github that we can embed directly into our markdown or html , but we want more so i made a recursive function to fetch all our repositories (The github readme script only fetches the first 100 repos)

You can add a lot of Anurag Hazra‘s GitHub ReadMe Stats features:

The GitHub Readme Stats project by Anurag Hazra generates dynamic statistics about your GitHub activities. This includes your top languages, total contributions, and more. You can use these stats to showcase your skills and dedication.

I didn't figured this on my own, the first time I learned about this feature was through the github-readme-stats project, under the responsive-card-theme section, it showed examples that I've used in my profile README and I've been also using on repositories as well.

You can also add your top repositories or your favorite projects with a title, description, preview, and link. However, there is another way you can do this without README which I will explain very soon. You can add custom styling for repositories, check it out here.

Now, we will create a new action for your repository. There is an awesome action template that can be used directly. This action will fetch the blogs from your Medium profile and put that on your GitHub profile page.

I would like to be able to add an RSS feed with latest posts to my github profile via https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow

Thanks to GitHub-flavored markdown, there's a lot you can do in your profile README. Mine has links to sites I've built, recordings of talks I've given, ways to connect, and a Blog Post Workflow written by @gautamkrishnar using Github Actions.

That space alloted labeled "Recent Updates" is meant to list scraped RSS or feed from any of my blogs. I used this Github Action.

Paste the code inside your yml file. Get the RSS feed URLs of your blog post sources and replace the feed list in the code above, indicated with an arrow. Visit this repository and scroll down to get the RSS feed URLs of some popular blogging platforms. Simply remove the links in the code above and paste yours in, separated by a comma if you have multiple sources. Don't remove the quotation marks.

The github action supports a readme_path parameter. After a quick dive in its source code I noticed that this file could be anything, not necessarily a markdown file. Problem solved!

As I planned to start blogging, I stumbled across this idea as I myself was looking to start a blogging presence of my own. As I looked around, I was able to only find one easy-to-use GitHub action that would allow me to add a list of my posts to my readme. Sadly, I was disappointed to discover that this action had little formatting, only setting up the posts as a bulleted list of links, which was less than appealing to the eye.

If you are active in writing blog posts, maybe you will want to add them to your readme profil page. Mine are not generated using some action because I have linked them to the repository concerned, but you can do it using blog-post-workflow (the description of how to use it are in the readme).
