⚡️📌 Update a pinned gist to contain the latest activity of a user

activity-box is a GitHub Action that is designed to work using the schedule event.

1. Create a new public GitHub Gist (https://gist.github.com/)
2. Create a token with the gist scope and copy it. The GITHUB_TOKEN that comes with GitHub Actions cannot currently use the Gist API.

1. Create a .github/workflows/activity-box.yml file with a workflow like this:

name: Activity Box

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '*/10 * * * *'

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - uses: JasonEtco/activity-box@master
        env:
          GH_PAT: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          GH_USERNAME: JasonEtco
          GIST_ID: 123abc

2. 💰 Profit

• GIST_ID: The ID portion from your gist url https://gist.github.com/matchai/6d5f84419863089a167387da62dd7081.
• GH_PAT: The GitHub token generated above.
