Uses the mod list in mods.json of the source branch, fetches the required data for each mod. That data is then added to database.json in the main branch. The process happens automatically every once in a while.
Mods listed in this database are used to generate the mods section of the mods website.
Or, if you want, you can edit the mod list yourself and open a PR
Special thanks to Raicuparta for making the Outer Wilds Mod Database, which this was stolen from inspired by.
GitHub Actions are used to periodically update the database. Check the Update Releases workflow and the TypeScript code that fetches the data about each mod and generates the database.
