  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *" # Runs daily at midnight
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  auto-streak:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write

    steps:
      - name: Checkout Repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: "20"

      - name: Run Auto-Streak Keeper
        uses: bmiit145/[email protected]
        with:
          file-path: "public/auto-streak/data.txt"
          min-commits: 2
          max-commits: 5
          commit-message: "Daily streak maintenance"
          user-name: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_USER_NAME }}
          user-email: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_USER_EMAIL }}
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          branch-name: "main"

Testing the Action

  1. Create a .github/workflows folder in a test repository.
  2. Add a workflow YAML file (e.g., auto-streak.yml).
  3. Push the changes and verify the action works as expected.

Publishing Updates

To publish a new version of the Auto-Streak Keeper action:

  1. Follow the deployment steps above.
  2. Increment the version tag (e.g., v1.0.1 -> v1.0.2).
  3. Update the action version in any workflows using it.

This ensures the Auto-Streak Keeper is not only user-ready but also easy for developers to maintain and enhance. Let me know if you need further adjustments!

Random Delay Between Commits

To prevent bot detection on GitHub, a random delay between 1 to 5 seconds is added after each commit. This makes the commit activity appear more human-like and avoids triggering GitHub's bot detection mechanisms.
