Post the analytics script (with any personal info redacted) so it can be adapted to Github Actions about pi-apps-analytics

[Botspot]

assuming the bitly api can be run entirely through CLI, then we can create a github actions version of this script to keep from you having to run a local version daily

(of course, <bitly API key> needs to be replaced with my bitly api key for the script to work)

I have a few other wrapper scripts for autostarting and pushing to github, but for github actions they should be unnecessary.
