gitActions

Hi, this is my GitActions project.

A Telegram Bot will receive a random Programming Joke 3 times a day.

1. Create the Node JS app

- Save jokes in a json file

- Write javascript code to extract a random joke

2. Create Telegram Bot

- Chat with @BotFather to create a bot

- Save API keys and your telegram userID

3. Install node-telegram-bot-api and dotenv

- Install both packages using yarn/npm

- Create a .env file to save the telegram token and telegram chat id

- Add "send message" function to the code

- Test the Bot on local machine

4.Create Github Workflow

- upload files

- in yaml file, install node, run index.js and set env to extract keys from secrets

- store telegram API key and teltegram id in github secrets

- schdule to run on 9am, 12pm and 5pm

Result:
