Create a Mastodon app

You can create a Mastodon app for your Mastodon account in your account settings under "Development" -> "Your applications", for example https://mastodon.social/settings/applications/new if your account is hosted on mastodon.social.

Create an app

Only 2 questions are required. Here are my answers for reference.

Application name (required)

An application name to identify it for your account, for example toot-together.

Application website (optional)

https://github.com/joschi/toot-together

Scopes

The toot-together GitHub Action does only require the write scope.

Save credentials

Open your newly created app in the "Development" tab and copy the string next to "Your access token".

Now save the credentials into your repository’s "Secrets" settings as follows:

Mastodon Credential name GitHub Secret name
Your access token MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN


next: Create a .github/workflows/toot-together.yml file
