### How to use

- Go to your repository
- Add the following section to your **README.md** file, you can give whatever title you want. Just make sure that you use **<!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START --><!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->** in your readme. The workflow will replace this comment with the actual blog post list:

```markdown
# Blog posts

<!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START -->
<!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->
```

- Create a folder named `.github` and create `workflows` folder inside it if it doesn't exist.
- Create a new file named `blog-post-workflow.yml` with the following contents inside the workflows folder:

```yaml
name: Latest blog post workflow
on:
  schedule:
    # Runs every hour
    - cron: "0 * * * *"
jobs:
  update-readme-with-blog:
    name: Update this repo's README with latest blog posts

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow@master
        with:
          feed_list: "https://dev.to/feed/rahuldkjain, https://medium.com/feed/@rahuldkjain"
```
