Building together: GitHub Partner Ecosystem Continues To Grow

Not too long ago, I realized I didn’t have a really good system for organizing my thoughts, and I wasn’t happy with any of the note-taking apps I tried. Evernote was too bloated for me, and required a paid account to sync between multiple devices. SimpleNote was closer to what I wanted, but I found it somewhat ugly and clunky. Keep was too simple, Bear didn’t have a web-based version…and so on.

Eventually I thought - why not just make exactly what I want? So I started building an app with the technologies I knew.

That app became  TakeNote , which I’m proud to say has been completed, thanks to over 50  open-source contributors who helped along the way.  The source is up on GitHub for anyone who wants to see how it was done.

You might also want to compare some similar projects in terms of the above mentioned stats, for whatever reasons that interest you.

We have the right tool for you: the simple and easy-to-use little tool called GitHub Stats.

Let’s dive right in to what we can get out of it.

Getting started

This interactive tool is really easy to use. Follow the three steps below and you’ll get what you want in real-time:

1. Head to the GitHub repo of the tool

How to Manually Trigger a GitHub Actions Workflow

Earlier this week, GitHub announced a new feature which allows developers to trigger workflows manually from within the “Actions” tab.

This has been one of the most heavily requested features for some time now, with the official support thread attracting hundreds of upvotes over the last 12 months — so does it deliver all that’s been promised?

The short answer is yes, but not without a few pitfalls. Let’s dive in.

Option 1: Basic Setup

To create your first manual workflow, you’ll want to use the new workflow_dispatch trigger:

A very simple manual workflow trigger.

Once you add this file to your repository, you’ll be able to see and manually run the workflow from the “Actions” tab on GitHub:

You’ll also notice that you can customise the branch to run your manual workflow against, however be advised that at least some variation of the workflow file must be on your default branch (e.g master) for it to appear in the “Actions” tab.

Selecting a custom branch will:

• Checkout the latest commit from that branch.
• Use the branch’s own variation of the workflow file (if modified).

A Simple Guide to Github Page Deployment

Long story short: Jekyll is a template engine changing

markdowndocuments on staticHTMLwebpages, that you can then host anywyere, because you don’t need databases or server that has PHP or Python.

Usual Process

Normally the process of adding new post looks like this:

• I write markdown document with setting parameters like title, date and tags
• when I’m happy with what I wrote (never), I commit changes and push it to repository on GitHub. Repository name comes from my nick and is also address for blog asvid.github.io
• Github after pushing to branch master builds website from sources using Jekyll - probably something like running jekyll build
• result of Jekyll build is not present in a repository, but you see it right now after visiting bloga page
