GitHub Actions to build and update a user's contribution graph, and then has a snake eat all your contributions. The output generates a gif file, that you can then show on your GitHub Profile README. I thought this was pretty cool, so I set about adding this to my profile.
Step 1. Setting up GitHub Actions
Head to your Profile and ensure the GitHub "Actions" is setup.
Step 2. Create a yaml file on your GitHub Actions
Make sure you create a new *.yml file under the following directory:
YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME --> .github --> workflows --> FILE_NAME.yml
(code and further details are here -)

Step 3. Running GitHub Actions
Once you've added the code above (don't forget to rename your-user name instead of mine) and committed it, head to your Actions tab. Under "Workflows", you should see the "Generate Snake" Action you created above.
Now, you should have received a green ✅ "build" checkmark. If so, this means your Action is working nicely. If not then follow this for more detailed explanation -
Step 4. Adding a contribution-eating snake to your profile
You will find your something like this
https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_USERNAME/blob/output/github-contribution-grid-snake.gif

Once your action is live, then github will automatically commit the updated graph in every 6 hours.
