# Zigist - Update a gist with a random dev joke
[](https://github.com/lmllrjr/zigist/actions/workflows/test.yaml) [](https://github.com/lmllrjr/zigist/actions/workflows/cron.yaml)
Nothing fancy here. This is just a simple github action to update a gist with a random dev joke using [Zig ⚡️](https://github.com/ziglang/zig).
## Quick start
```yaml
uses: 42LM/zigist@v1
with:
gh-token: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}
gist-id: e35b7dfc8ec2c958a7f8f0c9938ffd60
```
> [!TIP]
> Pin the gist in your profile:
>
> 
>
> [See it in ~action~ the wild](https://github.com/lmllrjr)
## Inputs
|Input Name|Description|Required|
| --- | --- | :---: |
|`gh-token`|The GitHub [Personal Access Token](https://docs.github.com/en/[email protected]/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens) with *gist* access|☑️|
|`gist-id`|The GitHub public gist id|☑️|
> [!IMPORTANT]
> #### `gh-token`: The GitHub Token needs to be created as a repository secret in the repository that uses this action.[^1]
> #### `gist-id`: The GitHub gist needs to be created with the file name `NEWS.md`.[^2]
## Example usage
https://github.com/lmllrjr/zigist/blob/d37412dd9250a000898ba2ba1313edefadf19204/.github/workflows/cron.yaml#L1-L16
## Local environment setup
The following two environment variables need to be set up:
1. `GH_TOKEN`: Create a github token that has access to gists.
2. `GIST_ID`: Create a gist.
Copy `.envrc.example` to `.envrc` and edit values. Load this environment into your shell, for example with [direnv](https://direnv.net/).
```sh
cp .envrc.example .envrc
```
### Zig
```sh
zig build run
```
```sh
zig build test --summary all
```
### Docker
```sh
docker build -t ziglang/static-v0.11.0 .
```
```sh
docker run --name zigist ziglang/static-v0.11.0 $GH_TOKEN $GIST_ID
```
