imgcmp v2.0.4

This GitHub Actions optimizes images in your repository. You will receive a pull request with optimized images. This Github Actions is inspired by ImgBot.

A pull request example:

Usage

name: imgcmp
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
      - master
jobs:
  imgcmp:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      - uses: 9sako6/imgcmp@v2.0.4
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Warning

- uses: 9sako6/imgcmp@master # NG

Do not reference master since that is the latest code and can be carrying breaking changes of the next major version.

If you want to run this action only once a week, please add the following lines.

name: imgcmp
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * 1" # Weekly build
jobs:
  imgcmp:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      - uses: 9sako6/imgcmp@v2.0.4
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Then, you will receive a pull request with optimized images every Monday at 0:00.
