Random Quote Action
what is this?
Random-Quote-Action is a GitHub Action designed to automatically update your repository’s README.md (specifically tailored for GitHub profile READMEs) with a randomly selected quote. It keeps your profile fresh by periodically swapping out the quote without you having to lift a finger!
why?
Honestly, I just wanted to figure out how custom GitHub Actions actually work under the hood. Along with that, at the time, I really wanted to have something cool on my GitHub profile (those days of naive optimism!). So, obviously, I built this lightweight JavaScript action to figure out how they work, and also get a buncha random cool sounding quotes on my GitHub profile’s README.md!
All it does is chooses a random quote from a pre-defined set of quotes, and places it in a demarcated section in the README.md file of your directory.
how do i use it?
Planning to put instructions verbatim from the project page? but it’s also possible that it may change… I’m confused
how does it work?
Firstly, some details:
- Language: JavaScript
- Runtime: Node.js
