A GitHub Action that automatically updates your README with a list of repositories you've starred on GitHub, categorized by programming language.

Add this to your workflow file (e.g., .github/workflows/update-stars.yml):

name: Update Starred Repositories

permissions: write-all

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '5 4 * * *'   # Run daily at 4:05 AM
  workflow_dispatch:      # Allow manual trigger

jobs:
  update-stars:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Update README with Starred Repositories
        uses: mxvsh/starkit@v2.4.2
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          github-username: ${{ github.actor }}

You can use markers to identify the section of your README that you want to update.

# My Starred Repositories

<!-- STARRED_REPOS_START -->

<!-- STARRED_REPOS_END -->

You can customize the action by passing additional parameters:

• readme-path: Path to your README file (default: README.md)
• start-marker: Marker to identify section start (default: <!-- STARRED_REPOS_START -->)
• end-marker: Marker to identify section end (default: <!-- STARRED_REPOS_END -->)
• include-languages: Comma-separated list of languages to include (optional)
• exclude-languages: Comma-separated list of languages to exclude (optional)
• sort-by: Sort order (name or count, default: name)
• max-repos: Maximum number of repositories per language (optional)
• build-web: Set to true to build a web version for GitHub Pages (default: false)

Starkit can build a beautifully formatted web version of your starred repositories using GitHub Pages. This creates an interactive web app where you can filter and search through your repositories.

Simply add build-web: true to your workflow configuration. Starkit will automatically:

1. Build the web application
2. Create or update the gh-pages branch
3. Deploy the built files directly to GitHub Pages

No additional actions or configuration needed!

Example workflow with GitHub Pages integration:

name: Update Starred Repositories with GitHub Pages

permissions:
  contents: write # Needed for updating README and gh-pages branch

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '5 4 * * *'   # Run daily at 4:05 AM
  workflow_dispatch:      # Allow manual trigger

jobs:
  update-stars:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Update README and Build Web
        uses: mxvsh/starkit@v2.4.2
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          github-username: ${{ github.actor }}
          build-web: true

After successful deployment, your website will be available at https://{username}.github.io/{repository-name}/. Make sure to enable GitHub Pages in your repository settings to serve from the gh-pages branch.
