[@kishor-jena]

doesn't work for me. it simply not showing any action on github although I have commit and pushed succefully
Edit: working now but had to add .nprc

[@bradgarropy]

Do you have a link to the repository where this is not working? There may be some misconfiguration on the trigger of the actions.

[@thelord982]

Very helpful. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@thelord982]

Maybe you have an idea why package that is written in Typescript, when installed in project, cannot find the module?

[@koigxiritb7ttgyuv]

very good tutorial, thanks

[@nsharma4981]

This was really helpful and to the point, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a bunch :)

Hi Brad! Thanks for the video. My project requires "npm start" to run on a weekly basis, is this GitHub Actions feature able to do that?

[@bradgarropy]

Hey Marcus, you can use a scheduled GitHub Action to run an event on a weekly basis. Here's a link to the documentation.
docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#scheduled-events
When the scheduled action runs, you can either create your own custom JavaScript action that runs whatever Node script you'd like, or call out to a serverless function.
Here's how to create your own custom JavaScript action.
docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-javascript-action
And Netlify is a simple way to get a serverless function up and running. I've got a video covering the basics.

[@Marcus-ty3pi]

@@bradgarropy Thank you so much Brad, I will research on them and will definitely check out Nelify as well. I spent so much time trying to deploy it on Heroku but I faced so many errors :( Thanks again for your reply, appreciate it very much!

[@dalefrench]

Thanks for the help! Would be cool to see how to increment the version number automatically too 🤔

[@bradgarropy]

Thanks!
Automatically updating the version number gets more complicated than you might originally think. You'd have to follow the Conventional Commits guidelines as well as Semantic Versioning to determine how to update the version number. There are three tools that help enable this.
- Commitizen
- Standard Version
- Semantic Release
It's a pretty big rabbit hole to go down, but if you maintain and release a lot of open source software it's very much worth it!

[@lucassilverio720]

thanks man, i do to angular libraries and works! amazing!

[@mathewsmachadoamorim5557]

great video man, thanks for it

[@jacobshuman1650]

Really straightforward, thanks for the help!

[@bradgarropy]

You're welcome!
Thinking about doing another GitHub Actions video about scheduled jobs (aka cron jobs). Would you be interested in seeing that as well?

[@jacobshuman1650]

Brad Garropy I’m trying to learn how to use GitHub actions in general so anything would help! Maybe a basic and potentially and advanced tutorial on getting started with actions?

[@bradgarropy]

Totally, thanks for the feedback!

[@deeppatel2819]

Hey buddy as of i am looking at this video now after 9 months i want to say that the github doesn't hve a secrets tab and you cannot paste value of token as you did here...so can you provide me some suggestions where can i find the latest techniques?

[@bradgarropy]

GitHub definitely still has the Settings -> Secrets tab. You can navigate directly there by going to this url:
github.com/bradgarropy//settings/secrets/actions
And based on the documentation here, Secrets are supported in pretty much every version of GitHub.
docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets
However, it does say "GitHub Actions is not available for private repositories owned by accounts using legacy per-repository plans. For more information, see "GitHub's products." So if you fall into that category you may have to find another way to store secrets.

[@deeppatel2819]

@@bradgarropy oh my God...thank you so much buddy...i was banging my head the whole day today..the mistake i did was.i was not looking for secrets tab in the respective repo ..you just saved my rest of the day..thanksss buddy so much💯💯👍
