🤔 Inspired By Sindre Sorhus

First when i saw his website i was so confused on how he was able to fetch the latest github repo via the domain https://gh-latest-repos.now.sh/ & Also i never heared of the domain .now.sh

So i was trying to figure on where i can purchase and after going through lots of Website's i somehow, ended here sindresorhus/gh-latest-repos

That's when i found out .now.sh is domain provided by https://vercel.com and its FREE!!!

So you guessed it. I jumped right into it and tried to get it up & Running. But I failed and was not able to get it since i am not that familiar with it.

Well Finally Got it Working Using None Other Than Github Actions 😀 😉

Since i am familiar Github Actions i decided to convert his script into a Action Package

Thanks To Sindre Sorhus For Creating Such Wonderful Microservice
