# 🚀 Your GitHub Actions Automation is Ready!
## ✅ What I've Created for You:
### 📁 GitHub Actions Workflows
- `.github/workflows/daily-automation.yml` - Runs daily at 6 AM UTC
- `.github/workflows/manual-automation.yml` - Manual trigger with options
- `.github/workflows/test-automation.yml` - Testing workflow
### 🤖 Automation Scripts

## 🎯 Next Steps to Deploy:
### 1. Create GitHub Repository
1. Go to https://github.com/new
2. Create repository named `news-instagram-mcp`
3. Don't initialize with README (we already have one)
### 2. Connect Local to GitHub
```bash
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/news-instagram-mcp.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
```
### 3. Add GitHub Secrets
Go to: **Repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions**
**Required Secrets:**
- `INSTAGRAM_USERNAME` = your_instagram_username
- `INSTAGRAM_PASSWORD` = your_instagram_password
**Optional Secrets:**
- `GEMINI_API_KEY` = your_gemini_api_key (for AI captions)
- `DATABASE_URL` = sqlite:///tmp/news_instagram.db
### 4. Test the Setup
1. Go to **Actions** tab in GitHub
2. Click **Test Automation**
3. Click **Run workflow** → **basic**
4. Watch it run to verify everything works
