What is this?

Want to show dynamic posts that update with the posts that you right on dev.to? This post is going to share a simple yet easy way to add dev.to posts dynamically to your github profile. Here is a example as well:

How to use?

• Leave some reactions to this repository
• Create a repository with the same name as your usernameFor example if my username is AttentiveAryan the repo will be AttentiveAryan/AttentiveAryan
• Create a readme.md file

   <h1 align="center">Hi , I'm Aryan Gupta</h1>  <h3 align="center">A passionate learner from India</h3>  <p align="center"> <a href="https://twitter.com/attentivearyan" target="blank"><img src="https://img.shields.io/twitter/follow/attentivearyan? logo=twitter&style=for-the-badge" alt="attentivearyan" /></a>   </p>  -  Im currently working on [learning html & css](https://freecodecamp.org/)  -  All of my projects are available at [attentivearyan.github.io](https://attentivearyan.github.io)  -  I regularly write articles on [attentivearyan.github.io/blog/](https://attentivearyan.github.io/blog/)  -  How to reach me **[email protected]**  -  Know about my experiences [attentivearyan.github.io/resume/](https://attentivearyan.github.io/resume/)  ### Blogs posts  <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START -->  <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->

Make sure to include the comment tag cause the post will be placed in this

  <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START -->  <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->

• Now let us come to the logic, We are going to use blog-post-workflow action:

  gautamkrishnar / blog-post-workflow

  Show your latest blog posts from any sources or StackOverflow activity or Youtube Videos on your GitHub profile/project readme automatically using the RSS feed

• For that create a file in .github/workflows/ called blog-post-workflow.yml

name: Latest blog post workflowon:  schedule: # Run workflow automatically    - cron: '0 * * * *' # Runs every hour, on the hour  workflow_dispatch: # Run workflow manually (without waiting for the cron to be called), through the Github Actions Workflow page directlyjobs:  update-readme-with-blog:    name: Update this repo's README with latest blog posts    runs-on: ubuntu-latest    steps:      - uses: actions/checkout@v2      - uses: gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow@master        with:          feed_list: "https://dev.to/feed/{username}"

Replace {username} with your username

• Check the repo for more configuration options:

  gautamkrishnar / blog-post-workflow

  Show your latest blog posts from any sources or StackOverflow activity or Youtube Videos on your GitHub profile/project readme automatically using the RSS feed

  Blog post workflow

  

  How to use

  • Star this repo
  • Go to your repository
  • Add the following section to your README.md file, you can give whatever title you want. Just make sure that you use <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START --><!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END --> in your readme. The workflow will replace this comment with the actual blog post list:

  # Blog posts<!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START --><!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->

  • Create a folder named .github and create a workflows folder inside it if it doesn't exist.
  • Create a new file named blog-post-workflow.yml with the following contents inside the workflows folder:

  name: Latest blog post workflowon  schedule: # Run workflow automatically    - cron: '0 * * * *' # Runs every hour, on the hour  workflow_dispatch: # Run workflow manually (without waiting for the cron to be called), through the Github Actions Workflow page directlyjobs:  update-readme-with-blog:
