This GitHub action tracks the books that you've read by updating the _data/read.yml file in your repository.
Create a new issue with the book's ISBN in the title. The action will then fetch the book's metadata using node-isbn and add it to _data/read.yml in your repository, always sorting by the date you finished the book.
Create .github/workflows/read.yml file using the following template:
on:
issues:
types: opened
jobs:
update_library:
runs-on: macOS-latest
name: Read
# only continue if issue has "read" label
if: contains( github.event.issue.labels.*.name, 'read')

comment: "📚 You read ${{ env.BookTitle }} on ${{env.DateRead}}."readFileName: The file where you want to save your books. Default:_data/read.yml.providers: Specify the ISBN providers that you want to use, in the order you need them to be invoked. If setting more than one provider, separate each with a comma.
The title of your issue must start with the ISBN of the book:
1234567890
The action will automatically set the date that you finished the book (dateFinished) to today. To specify a different date that you finished the book, add the date after the ISBN in YYYY-MM-DD format.
1234567890 2020-06-12
If you add content to the body of the comment, the action will add it as the value of notes.
