Prep Work

1. You need to update the markdown file(.md) with 2 comments. You can refer here for updating it.
2. You'll need a GitHub API Token with repo and user scope from here

   enabling the repo scope seems DANGEROUS
   but this GitHub Action only will allow committing the updated readme.

   • You can use this example to work it out
3. You need to save the GitHub API Token in the repository secrets. You can find that in the Settings of your repository. Be sure to save those as the following.
   • GitHub Personal Access Token as GH_TOKEN=<your github access token>
4. You can enable and disable feature flags based on requirements here. The only required flag is the GitHub API token.

This Action is best run on every push but dont worry it will only commit when colours are updated.

Update your Readme

Add a comment to your README.md like this:

<!--START_SECTION:colourise-->
<!--END_SECTION:colourise-->

These lines will be our entry-points for where the colour values will be modified and should work with multiple sections. An example can be seen here.

Profile Repository

You'll need to get a GitHub Access Token with a repo and user scope and save it in the Repo Secrets GH_TOKEN = <Your GitHub Access Token>

Here is Sample Workflow File for running it:

name: Rainbow badges

# runs after every push.
on: push

jobs:
  update-readme:
    name: Update Readme with Rainbow badges
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: Parply/readme-badge-colouriser@master
        with:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}

Extras

If you want to change options, you can add multiple FLAGS in your workflow file.

- uses: Parply/readme-badge-colouriser@master
      with:
        GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}
        SATURATION: "0.5"
        AUTHOR: "Parply"
