Getting Started

This is a minimal setup example to visualize the local repository.

Place the following in ./.github/workflows/gource.yml

name: Gource Action
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  action:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: 'Checkout'
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
        
      - name: 'Gource Action'
        uses: nbprojekt/gource-action@v1

      - name: 'Upload gource video'
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: Gource
          path: ./gource/gource.mp4

After the workflows have successfully completed, you can download the MP4 file of your artifacts.
Or use it in another Job.

        with:
          git_url: https://github.com/docker/cli
          gource_title: 'Docker CLI'
          logo_url: 'https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24683383/92395924-70189f80-f124-11ea-815c-aa4d9f4de29d.png'
          gource_resolution: '1080p'
          gource_fps: 60
          gource_font_size: 40
          gource_start_date: '2016-04-18'
