This repository holds the public GitHub profile content for Microsoft Cloud Sandbox - Unofficial and a small GitHub Actions automation that refreshes the visitor/view counter badge.

E.g

What this is for

• Profile hub: the content in profile/README.md is intended to be displayed on the GitHub profile page (when this repository is the special .github repo for an organization).
• Visitor counter updates: a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow updates the badge inside the profile README and writes view history to metrics.json.

Repository layout

• profile/README.md
  • The main profile page content (about the Microsoft Cloud hub, disclaimers, and the view counter badge).
• .github/workflows/use-visitor-counter.yml
  • GitHub Actions workflow that runs on a schedule / manual trigger to update the badge and regenerate metrics.json.
• metrics.json
  • Generated historical view metrics (daily counts + uniques). This file is overwritten by the workflow.

How to update

• Update the profile text. Edit profile/README.md.
• Refresh the visitor counter badge / metrics:
  • Run the workflow manually from GitHub: Actions → Use Visitor Counter Logic → Run workflow.
  • Or let it run automatically on the configured cron schedule.
• Secrets / permissions: The workflow expects a repository secret named TRAFFIC_TOKEN so it can read repository traffic insights.

Note

• The workflow uses an external tool repo (brown9804/github-visitor-counter) to generate the badge and metrics.json.
• Manual edits to metrics.json are not recommended because the workflow will replace it on the next run.
