Usage​

Create a new Actions workflow in your GitHub repository (e.g. devcycle-usages.yml) in the .github/workflows directory. In your new file, paste the following code:

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  dvc-code-usages:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Fetch DevCycle Code Usages
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: DevCycleHQ/feature-flag-code-usage-[email protected]
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          client-id: ${{ secrets.DVC_CLIENT_ID }}
          client-secret: ${{ secrets.DVC_CLIENT_SECRET }}
          project-key: app-devcycle-com

Your DevCycle API credentials and project token are required to update the DevCycle dashboard.

When referencing your API client ID and secret, we recommend using GitHub Secrets to store your credentials securely.
