Autor

The world has become so complicated that there are tons of information coming at me everyday. I fell so exhausted.

So I created this repository to help me gather all kinds of information that I'd like to see automatically(Autor). And it will send me an email frequently(morning, noon, night, midnight). It contains:

• diff.sh: Get the diff file of today's last commit and first commit's parent commit of my repositories.
• diff2html.sh: Used by diff.sh to convert .diff to .html, forked from here
• horoscope.sh: Get today's horoscope.
• pocket.sh: Get today's read-later list from Pocket.
• rss.sh: Get the RSS feed specified in config/.
• weather.sh: Get today's weather from wttr.
• wordnik.sh: Get word of the day from wordnik.
• reporter.sh: Combine all the above to generate the final report.

With Autor, I don't bother to seek information everywhere. I just check my email whenever I like.

Usage

Create secrets in Settings -> Secrets -> Actions

• GITHAB_USERNAME: github username
• LOCATION: weather location
• MAIL_USERNAME: email user name
• MAIL_PASSWORD: email password
• POCKET_CONSUMER_KEY: used for Pocket
• POCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN: used for Pocket
• WORDNIK_KEY: used for Wordnik
• SIGN: sign

Custom files in config/

• head, foot: html layouts
• profile.xml: Config what to send at the morning, noon, night, midnight, add RSS link in <rss>, add script name in <script>

Custom .yml file

• Option 1: Use schedule to trigger the workflow. Change the time to send the email in .github/workflows/schedule.yml, but it always has a delay.

• Option 2: Use workflow_dispatch to trigger the workflow. Use Github REST API, follow this link. I use this one, just create 4 automatic jobs using iphone shortcut, and send an api request at sepcific time.

TODO

• Add a blacklist of repo that I don't want to track
• Add more interesting scripts
