What I built

I made a GitHub action that automatically formats the Python and JavaScript code after each commit and pushes it to the repository.

Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)

First, I wanted to make an action that would automatically push commits to GitLab and BitBucket, like a mirror. But there were difficulties with the API of these services. Then I decided to implement my old idea - an action that automatically formats the code. I tried to do it before with Docker and now with js, and it turned out to be much easier.

How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)

I used the libraries from actions/toolkit to create my action. It's more comfortable than when I did it with Docker. I looked at all the libraries, and most of all: actions/core, actions/exec and actions/github.

Additional Resources/Info

To use it, you need to enable workflow read:write in the settings.
