Plan to build automation for tracking merged PRs:

  • Update README.md with a table structure for merged PRs (PR #, Title, Link, Year, Tags)
  • Create GitHub Actions workflow to automatically update README when PRs are merged
  • Add example entry to demonstrate table format
  • Validate workflow file syntax (fixed trailing spaces and line length issues)
  • Test workflow logic locally to ensure it works correctly
  • Create comprehensive setup documentation (SETUP.md)
  • Add .gitignore for temporary files
  • Add Quick Start section to README
  • Add Features section highlighting key capabilities
  • Add workflow process diagram
  • Final code review completed
  • Security check with CodeQL (no issues found)
  • Add historical merged PRs (19 PRs from various repositories)
  • Create backfill script for fetching historical PRs
  • Update documentation with backfill instructions
  • Fix table rendering by moving HTML comments outside the table

Latest Fix (addressing user feedback):
✅ Moved <!-- PR_LIST_START --> and <!-- PR_LIST_END --> markers outside the markdown table
✅ Updated GitHub Actions workflow to insert rows based on table header position
✅ Updated backfill script to work with new marker positions
✅ This ensures the table renders properly in GitHub's markdown renderer

The HTML comments were breaking the table rendering when placed inside it. Now the table should display correctly as a formatted table on GitHub.

Original prompt

i want to build an automation github repo that can explain all my merged PR's
create the repository (note that readme should contain a table with list of merged PR's, Links, Year, #tag number)
once a PR is merged then this list should be extended with merged details

@copilot even I want all my previous merges

Added all 19 of your previously merged PRs from across GitHub! The README now includes contributions from:

  • ServiceNowDevProgram/code-snippets (6 PRs)
  • Various open-source projects like Pathsphere, CalcDiverse, WildGuard, and more (13 PRs)
  • Spanning 2024-2025 with full details (PR #, title, link, year, tags)

Also created a backfill script (scripts/backfill-historical-prs.sh) that you can run anytime to fetch and add more historical PRs automatically.

Fixed! The HTML comment markers were breaking the table rendering. Moved them outside the table structure so GitHub's markdown renderer can properly display it as a formatted table.

Changes in commit 2ea66cc:

  • Moved <!-- PR_LIST_START --> and <!-- PR_LIST_END --> outside the table
  • Updated workflow to insert rows by finding the table header position
  • Updated backfill script to match new structure

The table should now render properly on GitHub.
