name: publish-to-medium
on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: infraway/[email protected]
        with:
          access_token: ${{ secrets.MEDIUM_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          markdown_file: ./content/post.md

Post content from newly committed file

This example gets files from commit, find blog posts and publish it to Medium.

  • steps.files.outputs.added_modified extracts add+modified files. If you need added only, use steps.files.outputs.added instead.
  • content/posts - a repo folder, which contains markdown posts. Replace with your own.
  • steps.posts.outputs.post0 - markdown posts path, it will contain as many as you have added post0, post1, post2.

            if [[ "${changed_file}" == "content/posts"* ]];
