DEGEN Tips Readme Action

Add this to any repo you want to thank you DEGEN sponsors from Farcaster! It looks like this 👇

This repo made possible by all my Farcaster tippers 👇

Setup

Place this in your readme the images of your tippers will be injected between automatically:

<!-- replace-degen-sponsors -->
<!-- replace-degen-sponsors -->

Add or edit your github action to include these four lines:

- uses: dawsbot/degen-tips-readme-action@v1
  with:
    FARCASTER_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.FARCASTER_USERNAME }}
    DUNE_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.DUNE_API_KEY }}

Add those three variables to your GitHub actions secrets
Run the action! ✨

Optional Choices

Key	Value Information	Type	Required

Update the Action Metadata

The action.yml file defines metadata about your action, such as input(s) and output(s). For details about this file, see Metadata syntax for GitHub Actions.

When you copy this repository, update action.yml with the name, description, inputs, and outputs for your action.

Update the Action Code

The src/ directory is the heart of your action! This contains the source code that will be run when your action is invoked. You can replace the contents of this directory with your own code.

There are a few things to keep in mind when writing your action code:

Most GitHub Actions toolkit and CI/CD operations are processed asynchronously. In main.ts, you will see that the action is run in an async function.
```
import * as core from '@actions/core';
//...

async function run() {
  try {
    //...
  } catch (error) {
    core.setFailed(error.message);
  }
}
```
For more information about the GitHub Actions toolkit, see the documentation.

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start customizing your action!

Create a new branch
```
git checkout -b releases/v1
```
Replace the contents of src/ with your action code
Format, test, and build the action
```
npm run all
```

This step is important! It will run ncc to build the final JavaScript action code with all dependencies included. If you do not run this step, your action will not work correctly when it is used in a workflow. This step also includes the --license option for ncc, which will create a license file for all of the production node modules used in your project.

Commit your changes

git add .
git commit -m "My first action is ready!"

Push them to your repository
```
git push -u origin releases/v1
```
Create a pull request and get feedback on your action
Merge the pull request into the main branch

Your action is now published! 🚀

For information about versioning your action, see Versioning in the GitHub Actions toolkit.

Validate the Action

You can now validate the action by referencing it in a workflow file. For example, ci.yml demonstrates how to reference an action in the same repository.

steps:
  - name: Checkout
    id: checkout
    uses: actions/checkout@v4

  - name: Test Local Action
    id: test-action
    uses: ./
    with:
      milliseconds: 1000

  - name: Print Output
    id: output
    run: echo "${{ steps.test-action.outputs.time }}"

For example workflow runs, check out the Actions tab! 🚀

Usage

After testing, you can create version tag(s) that developers can use to reference different stable versions of your action. For more information, see Versioning in the GitHub Actions toolkit.

To include the action in a workflow in another repository, you can use the uses syntax with the @ symbol to reference a specific branch, tag, or commit hash.

steps:
  - name: Checkout
    id: checkout
    uses: actions/checkout@v4

  - name: Test Local Action
    id: test-action
    uses: actions/typescript-action@v1 # Commit with the `v1` tag
    with:
      milliseconds: 1000

  - name: Print Output
    id: output
    run: echo "${{ steps.test-action.outputs.time }}"

Publishing a New Release

This project includes a helper script, script/release designed to streamline the process of tagging and pushing new releases for GitHub Actions.

GitHub Actions allows users to select a specific version of the action to use, based on release tags. This script simplifies this process by performing the following steps:

Retrieving the latest release tag: The script starts by fetching the most recent release tag by looking at the local data available in your repository.
Prompting for a new release tag: The user is then prompted to enter a new release tag. To assist with this, the script displays the latest release tag and provides a regular expression to validate the format of the new tag.
Tagging the new release: Once a valid new tag is entered, the script tags the new release.
Pushing the new tag to the remote: Finally, the script pushes the new tag to the remote repository. From here, you will need to create a new release in GitHub and users can easily reference the new tag in their workflows.
