A GitHub action to display your Credly badges in your personal GitHub profile README!

Inspired by this repo.

Note that this GitHub action only supports fetching badges from Credly.

1. Add the following to your github.com/<owner>/<repo>/README.md add the following:

<!--START_BADGES:badges-->
<!--END_BADGES:badges-->

2. In your repository create a workflows directory:

mkdir -p .github/workflows

3. Create a file called e.g. credly-badges.yaml with the following contents:

name: "Credly Badges"

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"

jobs:
  credly-badges:
    name: "Update README with Credly badges"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Update
        uses: mikejoh/credly-badges@main
        with:
          CREDLY_USERNAME: <Your Credly username>
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          COMMIT_MESSAGE: "Update Credly badges!"

Note that you might want to replace @main and pin to a specific version, see the Releases page for available released versions.

If you want to try it out, without waiting for the trigger to be scheduled, you can add another trigger e.g.:

...
on:
  push:
...

And push a commit to your profile repository, in the Actions tab of your repository you shall now see that it has triggered.

1. Build:

go build -o credly-badges .

2. Create a GitHub token.
3. Run:

export INPUT_GITHUB_TOKEN="token"
./credly-badges -credly-username <username> -gh-username <GitHub username> -gh-token $INPUT_GITHUB_TOKEN
