• Repository to track and repository to store traffic statistic can be different, and you may directly point the statistic as commits list: https://github.com/{{REPO_OWNER}}/{{REPO}}--gh-stats/commits/master/traffic/board/phpbb

• Workflow is used accum-stats.sh bash script to accumulate traffic statistic

• The script accumulates statistic both into a single file and into a set of files grouped by year and allocated per day: traffic/board/phpbb/by_year/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD.json

• CONTINUE_ON_INVALID_INPUT=1, CONTINUE_ON_EMPTY_CHANGES=1: Treats invalid input or empty changes as not an error as by default.

• ENABLE_GENERATE_CHANGELOG_FILE=1, CHANGELOG_FILE=".../changelog.txt": Generates a textual changelog file with notes about changes per commit including the changes absence in case of skipped errors.

• ENABLE_COMMIT_MESSAGE_DATE_WITH_TIME=1: Inserts the time string in format HH:MMZ additionally after the date in each commit message (by default inserts only a date for shorter commit messages).

• ENABLE_COMMIT_MESSAGE_WITH_WORKFLOW_RUN_NUMBER=1: Inserts the workflow run number after date/time prefix in each commit message (by default does not insert for shorter commit messages).

• ENABLE_GITHUB_ACTIONS_RUN_URL_PRINT_TO_CHANGELOG=1: Prints GitHub Actions Run URL (with or without workflow run number) into the changelog file to reference the log on the GitHub from the changelog file.

• ENABLE_REPO_STATS_COMMITS_URL_PRINT_TO_CHANGELOG=1: Prints Statistic Output Repository commit URL into the changelog file to reference the commit from being committed changelog file.

  Note The actual hash of the commit can not be know on the moment of the commit. So instead of the commit hash, an approximate date of the commit is used (~ +5 min ahead) in format of: https://github.com/{{REPO_OWNER}}/{{REPO}}--gh-stats/commits?branch={{BRANCH}}&time_zone=utc&until=YYYY-MM-DD

• ENABLE_PRINT_CURL_RESPONSE_ON_ERROR=1: Prints curl response in case of an error (by default only the progress prints)

Warning You must replace all placeholder into respective values:

• {{REPO_OWNER}} -> repository owner
• {{REPO}} -> your repository
• {{BRANCH}} -> your repository branch or reference
• {{TOPIC_KEYWORDS}} -> topic keywords
• {{TOPIC_AUTHOR}} -> topic author

Note You can use secrets.READ_STATS_TOKEN instead of secrets.WRITE_STATS_TOKEN as long as both repositories under the same repository owner.

Warning You must use different values for deps_repo_owner and output_repo_owner if respective repositories actually under different repository owners.

Note See REUSE section for details if you have multiple repositories and want to store all GitHub workflow scripts (.github/workflows/*.yml) in a single repository.
