Are you an early 🐤 or a night 🦉?
When are you most productive during the day?
Let's check out in gist!


This project is inspired by an awesome pinned-gist project.

Overview

This project uses GitHub graphQL API to get the commit histories and write into the gist by rest.js

Setup

Prep work

  1. Create a new public GitHub Gist (https://gist.github.com/)
  2. Create a token with the gist and repo scope and copy it. (https://github.com/settings/tokens/new)

    enable repo scope seems DANGEROUS
    but this GitHub Action only accesses your commit timestamp in the repositories you contributed.

Project setup

  1. Fork this repo

  2. Open the "Actions" tab of your fork and click the "enable" button

  3. Go to the repo Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions, add the following secrets / variables:

    Type Name Description
    Repository Secrets GH_TOKEN The GitHub token generated above.
    Repository Secrets GIST_ID The ID portion from your gist URL, e.g., 9842e074b8ee46aef76fd0d493bae0ed.
    Repository Variable TIMEZONE The timezone of your location, e.g., Asia/Taipei for Taiwan, America/New_York for America in New York, etc.
