WakaTime Stat Update Action
v4
Latest version
NOTE: This project is complete and requires no additional development at this stage. If you find an issue or have ideas for new features, please open an issue. In the meantime I am trying to migrate it from Python, until that happens this is all the project has to offer.
If you use WakaTime to track your coding activity. You can add that to your README as a bar graph or embed in your blog/portfolio. Just add this action to any of your repository and there you have it. See mine below.
- First get your WakaTime API Key. You can get it from your WakaTime account settings.
- Save WakaTime API Key to Repository Secret. Find that by clicking the Settings tab. Keep the name of secret as WAKATIME_API_KEY.
- Add following line in your README.md of your repo.
<img
src="https://github.com/<username>/<repository-name>/blob/<branch-name>/images/stat.svg"
alt="Alternative Text"
/>
Example:
<img
src="https://github.com/avinal/avinal/blob/main/images/stat.svg"
alt="Avinal WakaTime Activity"
/>
You can use this method to embed in web pages too. Do not use markdown method of inserting images. It does not work some times.
- Click Action tab and choose set up a workflow yourself.
- Copy the following code into the opened file, you can search for WakaTime Stat in marketplace tab for assistance.
