How to make a custom GitHub report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We start by creating a new workflow in Nekton<\/a> and adding a form that asks for the name of the GitHub repo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that, I’ll add an automated step, and describe what needs to be done: “Create a report of how many active PRs there are for each user of GitHub repo. Format it as a table, and show the least busy users on top.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNekton AI will generate Typescript code to implement this task. It will use GitHub API to get the information about PRs and then format them as a markdown table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWith AI code generation, I don’t need to spend an hour learning the API for for one-off small task, and I can get a working automation in less than a minute. Nekton runs this automation in the cloud, and I can share a link to it with other people. You can also review and modify the code before running it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This automation will work well with public repos, but it wouldn’t connect to a private one, because it needs authentication. We can add it quite easily by chatting with Nekton AI. I just say “Authenticate to Github with OAuth” in the automation chat, and Nekton modifies the code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI can then connect this workflow to GitHub using OAuth, and run it for private repos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can try running and modding this automation: template for public repo<\/a>, template for private repo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also try automating your other GitHub day-to-day tasks with Nekton. For example, you can assign PRs to a least busy person, or send this report over email on a schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
