I don't quite know what triggered it but one night in early November 2021 I decided that I wanted to start blogging every once in awhile again. It doesn't matter that few, if any, people will ever read the things I write. It's just a creative outlet. But regardless, as always I was paralyzed by all the choices I had for which blog platform/engine to use. I decided to just put my first post in a GitHub Gist to get the ball rolling, thinking I would move it elsewhere later. But then I thought it might be kind of cool to continue using Gists for blogging since it was so easy. I started looking more into the APIs and discovered that a workflow around blogging via Gists was definitely feasible. It also just so happened that the 2021 GitHub Actions Hackathon was going on, so as any good developer does... I decided to make my own Rube Goldberg machine blog engine instead of trying to pick one! A few weeks later I am happy to introduce... Gistblog!
The Gistblog GitHub Action is part of an opinionated setup that lets you use GitHub Gists as a blogging engine. I strongly urge you to read this first. You can also checkout this blogpost for more info about Gistblog.
In the spirit of the #ActionsHackathon21, you can see I'm taking advantage of the checkout action GitHub provides and the Paths Filter action by dorny to create the desired workflow. I'm also using the Gistblog Action I created for this hackathon which handles managing all the blog posts as Gists. I'd like to explore Composite actions soon to see if I can reduce all of this to a single action making setup even easier.
