## How to use

1. Star this repo 😉
2. Go to your repository
3. Add the following section to your **README.md** file, you can give whatever title you want. Just make sure that you use `` in your readme. The workflow will replace this comment with the actual blog post list:
```markdown
# Blog posts


```
4. Create a folder named `.github` and create a `workflows` folder inside it, if it doesn't exist.
5. Create a new file named `blog-post-workflow.yml` with the following contents inside the workflows folder:
```yaml
name: Latest blog post workflow
on:
schedule: # Run workflow automatically
- cron: '0 * * * *' # Runs every hour, on the hour
workflow_dispatch: # Run workflow manually (without waiting for the cron to be called), through the GitHub Actions Workflow page directly
permissions:
contents: write # To write the generated contents to the readme

jobs:
update-readme-with-blog:
name: Update this repo's README with latest blog posts
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Pull in dev.to posts
uses: gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow@v1
with:
feed_list: "https://dev.to/feed/gautamkrishnar,https://www.gautamkrishnar.com/feed/"
```
6. Replace the above URL list with your own RSS feed URLs. See [popular-sources](#popular-sources) for a list of common RSS feed urls. Commit the changes.
7. Go to repository settings, Click on Actions > General. Update the "Workflow permissions" to "Read and write permissions". Click on save.

This will also prevent committing to readme. See [#51](https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow/issues/51#issuecomment-758570235) for more details about the output format and how to use it.

Update an index.html file (instead of README.md) with a list from blogspot

First, create an index.html file in your github repo and insert the tags in the file where you want the update to take place. Use appropriate html wrappers outside the tags so that the inserted list is rendered properly (see results below).

##### workflow.yml


Then in the repo where you want to update the index.html, follow the steps about github actions mentioned above, and create the blog-post-workflow.yml.

```yml
