Hey, I have been doing the same thing as you for some types of online resources I am interested in for a long time, too. Really nice work! One small thing you might find interesting: in the beginning, I would push the automated commits via my GitHub identity so they would all be associated to my account as my activity. This annoyed me but I also couldn't accept the idea of the commits coming from a non-GitHub account (so the username wouldn't be clickable) nor the idea of creating and maintaining a separate set of credentials to push the change under. I though about what would be a good default identity I could use and after some experimentation I found that if you use these credentials, the commits appear as if they GitHub Actions native GitHub bot pushed them:
git config --global user.email "41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
git config --global user.name "github-actions[bot]"
They have the right icon, clickable username and it is as simple as just using this email and name. You or someone else might like to do this, too, so here's me sharing this neat trick I found.
