      "target": "localization/%slug%/%document_path%.json",
      "hooks": {
        "afterSync": "touch sync-done.txt"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Example

name: Accent

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 4 * * *"

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 16
      - run: npm install -g accent-cli
      - run: accent sync --add-translations --merge-type=passive --order-by=key
      - uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v4
        with:
          add-paths: "*.json"
