1. Star this repo 😉

2. Go to your repository

3. Add the following section to your README.md file, you can give whatever title you want. Just make sure that you use <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START --><!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END --> in your readme. The workflow will replace this comment with the actual blog post list:

   # Blog posts
   <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START -->
   <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->

4. Create a folder named .github and create a workflows folder inside it, if it doesn't exist.

5. Create a new file named blog-post-workflow.yml with the following contents inside the workflows folder:

   name: Latest blog post workflow
   on:
     schedule: # Run workflow automatically
       - cron: '0 * * * *' # Runs every hour, on the hour
     workflow_dispatch: # Run workflow manually (without waiting for the cron to be called), through the GitHub Actions Workflow page directly
   permissions:
     contents: write # To write the generated contents to the readme
   
   jobs:
     update-readme-with-blog:
       name: Update this repo's README with latest blog posts
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Checkout
           uses: actions/checkout@v4
         - name: Pull in dev.to posts
           uses: gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow@v1
           with:
             feed_list: "https://dev.to/feed/gautamkrishnar,https://www.gautamkrishnar.com/feed/"

6. Replace the above URL list with your own RSS feed URLs. See popular-sources for a list of common RSS feed urls. Commit the changes.

7. Go to repository settings, Click on Actions > General. Update the "Workflow permissions" to "Read and write permissions". Click on save.

   

8. Wait for it to run automatically, or you can also trigger it manually to see the result instantly. To trigger the workflow manually, please follow the steps in the video.

• My own GitHub profile readme - YML File

• Error Code 128
• Looks like your website returned *XXX*, There is nothing blog post workflow can do to fix it. Please check your website's RSS feed generation source code. Also double check the URL.: This will happen if your website is blocking requests from the GitHub IP addresses. It can also happen if you give the workflow an invalid URL. First, check your URL. If it's working fine on your computer, then try debugging it using https://github.com/marketplace/actions/debugging-with-tmate establish an ssh connection with the Github runner and try to curl -I <URL> This will give you a 200 status code if your website is responding correctly. If its not responding with 200, you need to check your website's feed generation source code, you can also contact your hosting provider/DNS provider to know if they are blocking the GitHub public IP address. Some companies do that to prevent spam and DDOS attacks. As the message says there is nothing I can do to fix this issue, it needs to be sorted out with your hosting provider.
