Workflows

Banner Refresh (refresh-banner.yml)

Runs nightly at 06:00 UTC and on pushes to template/script files. It:

1. Queries the GitHub REST API for public, non-archived, non-fork repo count and unique contributor count.
2. Injects the live numbers into profile/template.html.
3. Screenshots the HTML at 1280x320 using headless Chromium (Playwright).
4. Commits profile/banner.png if the image changed.

Uses the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN, so no extra secrets are needed.

To customize the banner design, edit profile/template.html. The next workflow run will pick it up.

Active Repos Table (update-active-repos.yml)

Runs weekly on Mondays at noon UTC. It queries the org's public repos via the GraphQL API, ranks them by commit count over the last 30 days, and inserts the top 6 between the <!-- ACTIVE_REPOS:START --> / <!-- ACTIVE_REPOS:END --> marker comments in profile/README.md.

Requires a repository secret:

Secret	Description
ORG_READ_TOKEN	A GitHub PAT with read:org and repo scopes

Setup

1. Actions permissions: Settings > Actions > General > Workflow permissions: Read and write.
2. Active repos secret: Add the ORG_READ_TOKEN secret in Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions.
3. First run: Trigger both workflows manually from the Actions tab to populate the banner and active repos table.

Editing the Org Profile

Edit profile/README.md to change what appears on the org landing page. Two auto-managed sections to be aware of:

• The banner.png image is regenerated nightly by the banner workflow.
• The active repos section between the marker comments is refreshed weekly.

Make content changes outside those regions.
