Push Code and Get Assignment 😍 (⚠️Lazy People Only...)

So, it all started from my college. But first. Let's be honest. I'm a lazy guy. I just find ways to skip works. And try to find easy ways to live my life. So when it comes to writing assignments, um you know what I would do.

So the thing is , I've noted one thing. My professor give us few questions to code and then make an assignment out of it which just contains my code , the working snaps and the question. But making the these things is too much work for a guy like me. Though it's just copy paste but still I have to do the same repetitive task again and again for a whole semester or may be for a whole year.

And here comes the GitHub actions. So what I do is , I store my codes and snaps in my local repository and then push it to GitHub. And GitHub Actions gets files from my last commit and form an assignment for me then sent it to my email so that I can just submit it. 😊

FUN FACT - Code and this github actions is reusable and easily configurable 🎭
