This is a GitHub action I created for my GitHub profile's README

It gets the user's recent activity and the most recent posts from an RSS feed.

This project is heavily based on @jamesgeorge007 GitHub Activity Readme and @actions-js Profile Readme

Full credits belong to them. I just adapted the code to match my needs

• Create a file named TEMPLATE.md with the base content you want.

• (Optional) Add the comment <!--{{activity}}--> within TEMPLATE.md. You can find an example here.

• (Optional) Add the comment <!--{{feed}}--> within TEMPLATE.md. You can find an example here.

• It's the time to create a workflow file.
