Just sync Zenn articles to DEV 🧘

It can be used to sync articles written in Zenn to DEV.

▶️ Usage

The minimum usage is as follows.

        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: dev.to action step
        uses: nikaera/sync-zenn-with-dev-action@v1.2.0
        id: dev-to
        with:
          # DEV API key will be required.
          api_key: ${{ secrets.api_key }}
          # (optional) Your account name in Zenn (Fields to be filled in if canonical url is set.)
          # username: nikaera
          # (optional) Synchronize only the articles in the file path divided by line breaks.
          # added_modified_filepath: ./added_modified.txt
          # (optional) Whether to sync all articles. `update_all` takes precedence over `added_modified_filepath`.

          # title_format: "[{type}] {title} {emoji}"
        # If there is a new article to be synced to DEV,
        # the ID of the DEV article will be assigned to the markdown header of the Zenn article.
        # (This is used to determine whether the article will be newly created or updated next time.)

        run: |
          git config user.name github-actions

          git commit -m "sync: Zenn with DEV [skip ci]"
          git push
        if: steps.dev-to.outputs.newly-sync-articles
        # Output the title and URL of the article synced to DEV.
      - name: Get the output articles.
        run: echo "${{ steps.dev-to.outputs.articles }}"

🎬 Scenario

Initially, I recommend running the following GitHub Action to sync all your articles to DEV. https://github.com/nikaera/zenn.dev/blob/main/.github/workflows/sync-zenn-with-dev-action-all.yml

After that, you can use the following GitHub Action to synchronize the article as soon as there are changes in the article file. https://github.com/nikaera/zenn.dev/blob/main/.github/workflows/sync-zenn-with-dev.yml
