Convert DEV Posts to Jekyll Markdown Post GitHub Action

This action does the following:

• Search for a DEV contributor's latest blog posts using the DEV API
• Check to see if the newest DEV post is newer than the latest post in the Jekyll repository
• If the DEV post is newer than the newest repository post, raise a pull request in the repository with the DEV post converted to Jekyll markdown.

Installation

To use this action in your Jekyll blog post repository, you need to do the following:

• Add a .github/workflows folder to your repository
• Create a dev-to-jekyll.yml file in the folder
• Add the following inside the file:

 schedule:
     # At midnight twice a week on Monday and Thursday
    - cron:  '0 0 * * 1,4'

    steps:
    - name: dev-to-jekyll
