What info does GitHub actually provide?

[Andre601]

This is something I currently wonder. What info does GitHub provide for the Action to use?
Perhaps there are some other options/features that people may be interested in using?

https://api.github.com/users/{USERNAME}/events/public
Send a GET request or simply put this in browser (make sure you have JSON formatter extension in browser).
That is the format we get info in.

Yes we can try it I guess. @PuneetGopinath can you do this part?

Yes

I simply created a repo recent-activity-template for that

I simply created a repo recent-activity-template for that
Try to fix #23 for that repo to work

But why do we need v1 to work?
As of now, the workflow is working properly on main branch.

I have invited you both as collaborator there, go ahead and submit PRS to that repo.

I'd say let's just keep that readme simple.
That'll use only our workflow.

Yep, some other events I know are:

1. ForkEvent
2. CreateEvent
3. ReleaseEvent
4. PushEvent

Also, I just now released v1.2.2
But I don't see a release event. Any idea why that would happen? @PuneetGopinath @Andre601

Haha, GitHub actions released that not you.
That's because GitHub actions drafted it.

My guess is, because it's made by github-actions and not you.

Okay. I get it now.

[abhijoshi2k]

Are there any more infos regarding this? Like is there specific info to distinguish both from each other? In such a case could we offer them both as separate event.

Yes we can distinguish. There are some properties that change.
