A simple web application for testing GitHub Actions cron workflows and automated deployments.

This project demonstrates:

• Daily automated merging from dev to main branch
• Build verification before merging
• Simple web app that can be easily broken for testing

The GitHub Action runs daily at 06:00 UTC and:

1. Checks out the dev branch
2. Runs npm run build to verify the build works
3. Creates a PR from dev to main (if changes exist)
4. Auto-merges the PR if the build passes

# Install dependencies (none currently)
npm install

# Build the app
npm run build

# Run the server
npm start

# Visit http://localhost:3000

To test the workflow with build failures, uncomment the error line in build.js:

// throw new Error('Simulated build failure for testing');

This will cause the build to fail and prevent the merge to main.

• main: Production branch, only receives merges from dev
• dev: Development branch, where new changes are made

The workflow uses 0 6 * * * which means:

• 0 - At minute 0
• 6 - At hour 6 (06:00 UTC)
• * - Every day of month
• * - Every month
• * - Every day of week

Change this to test different schedules (e.g., */5 * * * * for every 5 minutes).
