Guestbook

An Action 🎬 to create a Guestbook 📖✒ in your Repository 📚

Usage

Pre-requisites

Create a workflow .yml file in your repositories .github/workflows directory. An example workflow is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for Creating a workflow file.

Create an issue in your repository. Any comment in this issue approved (:+1:) by an authorized user will be added to the guestbook. See #1 for an example issue.

Inputs

• issue - The issue number to retrieve guestbook entries (required)
• token - Authorization token used to interact with the repository and update the guestbook. Defaults to github.token
• approvers - List of users allowed to approve comments for the guestbook
• guestbook-path - File path of the guestbook

Example Workflow

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: joshmgross/guestbook@main
      with:
        issue: 1
        approvers: |
          joshmgross
    - name: Update guestbook
      run: |
        if [[ `git status --porcelain` ]]; then
          git config --local user.email "actions@github.com"
          git config --local user.name "${{ github.actor }}"
          git add README.md
          git commit -m "✏ Update guestbook"
          git push
        fi

See main.yml for a full workflow file example.

In your guestbook markdown file, add comments to denote the start and end of the guestbook. Everything within these comments will be replaced by approved comments from the issue specified.

<!--START:guestbook-->

<!--END:guestbook-->

Example Guestbook
