Reminds yourself to keep your GitHub streak going (with a friendly email reminder). Keep your GitHub streak going just like this Ryan guy did.

heroku create
heroku addons:create scheduler
heroku addons:create sendgrid
heroku config:set [email protected]
heroku config:set GITHUB_USERNAME=your_github_username
git push heroku master

Then go to https://addons-sso.heroku.com/apps/your_app_name/addons/scheduler:standard and set the UTC time to the appropriate time you'd like. For example, I want my reminder to check at 6pm Los Angeles time so I set it to 2am UTC.

That's it. You can forget this app is even running.

You can optionally install using click-to-cloud. Click to cloud is a binary I'm building to make it easier to deploy small application to cloud Paas like Heroku. I personally, use this approach, but your mileage may vary.

First, install click-to-cloud on your machine.

Second, run the following command.

click-to-cloud --repo https://github.com/scottmotte/github-streaker.git

Make sure you set the TO and GITHUB_USERNAME variables. After you have installed your application to Heroku.

cp .env.example .env

Configure with your credentials.

node ./task.js
