GitHub Action to prevent GitHub from disabling scheduled workflows due to repository inactivity.
Compared to other similar GitHub Actions
(https://github.com/marketplace/actions/keep-your-github-actions-alive-automatically,
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/keepalive-workflow v1), this one will
not create any dummy commits. Instead, it uses GitHub API to preemptively
re-enable the workflow, thus preventing it from being automatically disabled.
Invoke this action in all scheduled workflows that you need to continue running even if there's no activity in the repo:
name: Tests
on:
schedule:
- cron: "0 0 * * *"
jobs:
tests:
name: Run integration tests
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
# … whatever other steps you need to run your tests
workflow-keepalive:
if: github.event_name == 'schedule'
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
permissions:
actions: write
steps:
- uses: liskin/gh-workflow-keepalive@v1
