Explanation:

  1. The actions/github-script generates message for commit.
  2. The peaceiris/actions-gh-pages publish traffic data to traffic_branch. The options follow this guide.
  3. The TRAFFIC_TOKEN needs to be generated, the guild in Generate my_token.
  4. The GITHUB_TOKEN does not need to be generated,only reference it in your workflow file,and the document in Using the GITHUB_TOKEN in a workflow.

More usage example:

📝 Use dependabot to keep action up-to-date

This file is build in ./github/dependabot.yml to keep action up-to-date.

version: 2
updates:
  # Maintain dependencies for GitHub Actions
  - package-ecosystem: 'github-actions'
    directory: '/'
    schedule:
      interval: 'daily'

🙈 Generate my_token

This part is obtained from sangonzal/repository-traffic-action.

You'll first need to create a personal access token (PAT) which make the action having the access to the GitHub API.

You can generate a PAT by going to Settings(GitHub) -> Developer Settings -> Personal Access Tokens -> Generate new token, and will need to grant repo permission. For more information, see the GitHub documentation.

After you generated the PAT, go to Settings(repository) -> Secrets -> New secret, name the secret TRAFFIC_TOKEN and copy the PAT into the box.
