Code Blocks with Syntax Highlighting

Showcase your code with proper GitHub rendering:

JavaScript Example

// GitHub Actions workflow example
const core = require('@actions/core');
const github = require('@actions/github');
try {
const nameToGreet = core.getInput('who-to-greet');
console.log(`Hello ${nameToGreet}!`);
const time = (new Date()).toTimeString();
core.setOutput('time', time);
const payload = JSON.stringify(github.context.payload, undefined, 2);
console.log(`The event payload: ${payload}`);
} catch (error) {
core.setFailed(error.message);
}

Python Example

# GitHub webhook handler
import hmac
import hashlib
from flask import Flask, request, abort
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
signature = request.headers.get('X-Hub-Signature-256')
if not verify_signature(request.data, signature):
abort(401)
payload = request.get_json()
if payload['action'] == 'opened':
handle_pull_request_opened(payload)
return 'OK'
def verify_signature(payload_body, signature_header):
if not signature_header:
return False
expected_signature = 'sha256=' + hmac.new(
WEBHOOK_SECRET.encode('utf-8'),
payload_body,
hashlib.sha256
).hexdigest()
return hmac.compare_digest(expected_signature, signature_header)
