gitlab-stats

• Create an Action Secret:

  • Navigate to the Settings of your GitHub repository.
  • Go to the Secrets and variables section.
  • Click on Actions and 'New repository secret'.
  • Name the secret GITLAB_USERNAME and provide the appropriate GitLab username as its value.

• Add the Secret to your README.md:

  • Embed the action secret in your GitHub Actions workflow by enclosing it within the workflow file. This does not expose the secret in your README.md, but you can indicate where the data will appear.

  • Edit your README.md to include the following section where the GitLab username will be utilized:

    <!--START_SECTION:emo-gitlab-->
    <!--END_SECTION:emo-gitlab-->

    This section can be used by a GitHub Actions workflow to insert dynamically generated content, such as statistics or updates related to the GitLab username stored in your secret.

• Add workflow to your profile repo .github/workflows:

  name: Gitlab Stats update
  on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
      - cron: "0 0 * * *"
  
  jobs:
