It's configurable to run on a schedule or in response to specific GitHub events.\n\nI started this project so that I could create a landing page on my GitHub.io website. Then use that to link to projects and websites throughout my account.\n\n## Features\n\n- Automatically fetches a list of GitHub repositories for a specified user.\n- Updates an HTML file with the latest list of repositories.\n- Customizable to run on different triggers like push, pull request, or on a schedule.\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThese instructions will guide you through setting up and running the action on your own repository.\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- A GitHub account.\n- A GitHub repository where you want to use this action.\n- (Optional) A Personal Access Token (PAT) if you need to access private repositories.\n\n### Local Setup\n\n1. **Clone the repository**:\n\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/thomasthaddeus/UpdateRepositoryList.git\n   ```\n\n2. **Set up the environment variables**:\n\n   Create a `.env` file in your project root and add the following:\n\n   ```env\n   MY_GITHUB_USERNAME=your-github-username\n   MY_GITHUB_TOKEN=your-github-token\n   ```\n\n## Local Development\n\nTo run and test the script locally, follow these steps:\n\n1. Install dependencies:\n\n   ```bash\n   npm install\n   ```\n\n2. Run the script:\n\n   ```bash\n   npm run start\n   ```\n\n### Setup\n\n1. **Clone the Repository**\n\n   Clone this repository into your GitHub account.\n\n2. **Configure Environment Variables**\n\n   - Create a `.env` file at the root of your project.\n   - Add your GitHub username and (optionally) a personal access token to the `.env` file:\n\n    ```env\n    MY_GITHUB_USERNAME=your-username\n    MY_GITHUB_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token\n    ```\n\n3. **GitHub Secrets**\n\n   For production use, set your GitHub username and personal access token as secrets in your repository settings:\n\n   - `MY_GITHUB_USERNAME`\n   - `MY_GITHUB_TOKEN` (your PAT)\n\n### GitHub Actions Workflow\n\n1. **Set Secrets**:\n\n   Add `MY_GITHUB_USERNAME` and `MY_GITHUB_TOKEN` as secrets in your GitHub repository settings.\n\n2. **Workflow Configuration**:\n\n   Edit `.github/workflows/main.yml` to configure the triggers for running the action.\n\n3. **Customize Landing Page Template**\n\n   Modify the HTML templates in the `templates` directory as needed to fit the design of your landing page.\n\n### HTML File Configuration\n\n- Set the path to your HTML file in the workflow file using the `HTML_FILE_PATH` environment variable.\n\n### Usage\n\nOnce set up, the action will run according to the triggers defined in your workflow file. You can customize the triggers in the `.github/workflows/main.yml` file.\n\n## Running Tests\n\nTo ensure the reliability of the code, you can run the included tests:\n\n```bash\nnpm test\n```\n\nThis will execute the test cases defined in the `__tests__` directory using Jest.\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions to this project!
