Setup

Prep work

  1. Create a new public GitHub Gist (https://gist.github.com/)
  2. Create a token with the gist scope and copy it. (https://github.com/settings/tokens/new)
  3. Create a RescueTime Account account (https://rescuetime.com)
  4. In your account settings, create a new RescueTime API Key (https://www.rescuetime.com/anapi/manage)

Project setup

  1. Fork this repo

  2. Create a new blank gist and grab the end part of the URL

    • GIST_ID: The ID portion from your gist url: https://gist.github.com/joshghent/2d5f82ddf12683b47fc27f987a561d03.

  3. Go to the repo Settings > Secrets

  4. Add the following environment variables:

    • GH_TOKEN: The GitHub token generated above.
    • RESCUETIME_API_KEY: The API key for your RescueTime account.
    • GIST_ID: The Gist ID that we got in Step 2

  5. Copy the contents of .github/workflows/schedule.yml, then delete the file and commit it. Then recreate the file and paste the contents back in (this is due to forked repos not running actions)
