Commit config file

To enable this "action" in any of your github hosted project, a configuration file should be located in ".github/workflow/" subdir, just like:

Back to your project you can create ".github/workflows/fediverse-action.yml" file by applying this patch from shell:

curl "https://github.com/rzr/color-sensor-js/commit/867de15f.patch"  | git am
git push

Or pick it from:

Then check action's status on github, a default message should then appears on a "mastodon.social" profile, something like:

Note default "mastodon.social" server will be used unless you override a host value:

        with:
          access-token: ${{ secrets.MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          host: "social.bau-ha.us" # custom host if not "mastodon.social" (default)

Example:

Default message will link to your repo URL.

Customize commit message

Once posting is verified, then apply this next change to overload default message with your project's latest git commit message.

curl "https://github.com/rzr/color-sensor-js/commit/cb4512fe.patch" | git am
git push
(...)
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - id: log
        run: echo "::set-output name=message::$(git log --no-merges -1 --oneline)"
      - uses: rzr/fediverse-action@master
        with:
          access-token: ${{ secrets.MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          message: "https://github.com/${{ github.repository }}/commit/${{ steps.log.outputs.message }} ~ #FediVerseAction"

Feel free to edit "message" input with anything you prefer.

Examples:

If you need to be less verbose you can filter on "Release x.y.z" commit messages only:

As a reference, config file should look like this:

# YAML
---
name: fediverse-action
on: [push]
jobs:
  post:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - id: log
        run: echo "::set-output name=message::$(git log --no-merges -1 --oneline)"
      - if: "contains(steps.log.outputs.message, 'Release ')"
        uses: rzr/fediverse-action@master
        with:
          access-token: ${{ secrets.MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          message: "https://github.com/${{ github.repository }}# ${{ steps.log.outputs.message }} ~ #FediVerseAction"
          host: "mamot.fr" # If not using default "mastodon.social"

You can get inspired from this reference config file:

Feel free to also pin version to latest release (-"@master" +"@vX.Y.Z"):
