# Awesome Twitter Action 

An GitHub Action that tweets new entries on awesome lists. The goal of this project is to inform readers about new projects on an awesome list in an easy way.

Contributors also have a better way to advertise new projects via the awesome list and can create custom tweet messages. 

## Implementation

Check if the last commit message on the main branch contains `https` and creates a tweet based on the corresponding line.

## Usage

1. Add the Github Action Script to .github/workflows/tweet.yml

2. Create a Twitter [Developer Account](https://developer.twitter.com/en).

3. Add the Login data to your project secrets.

4. Activate your Github Actions by pressing the Activate GitHub Action for this Projects button on the Action Tab of your project.

5. Create a Commit message with an URL. Since the title of a pull request is included in the commit message, contributors can create user-specific Twitter messages.

## Github Action

```

name: Send URLs from Commit Message as Tweets

on: 

  push:

   branches:

      - main

jobs:

  tweet:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        env: 

          default_hashtags: " #opensource #protontypes"

        run: |

              echo -e "${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}" >> tweet
