**Dev-Box** is a simple **GitHub Action** built to make dynamic Gist displaying your latest post from Dev.to




## 🎉 Usage

**To start, you need to prepare some things:**

- Create a new public GitHub Gist at https://gist.github.com/

- Create an Access Token with the `gist` scope and save it.

You can do that at https://github.com/settings/tokens/new




**After getting this done:**

- Fork this repository.

- Go to your fork's **Settings > Secrets** page add the following secrets:

	- **`DEVTO_USERNAME`** - Your username from Dev.to

	- **`GH_TOKEN`** - The access token you saved earlier.

	- **`GIST_ID`** - The ID of your newly created public Gist.

   *It will look like this:*  

	 `https://gist.github.com/RangerDigital/`**`d1b79f73d3e5a2420ed370b0059dba42`**.

 - Delete a `.github/workflows/schedule.yml` file.

 - Create a `.github/workflows/dev-box.yml` file like this:

 ```yml

 name: Update GitHub Gist with Dev-box!

 on:

   schedule:

     - cron: '*/10 * * * *'

 jobs:

   build:

     runs-on: ubuntu-latest

     steps:

       - uses: actions/checkout@master

       - name: Update latest post from Dev.to

         uses: rangerdigital/dev-box@master

         with:

           GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}

           GIST_ID: ${{ secrets.GIST_ID }}

           DEVTO_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.DEVTO_USERNAME }}

 ```




**That's It!**  

Now every 10 minutes `dev-box.yml` workflow will update your Gist.
