This repository contains a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically updates a file named TIMESTAMP.txt
with the current date and time every 12 hours. This README provides a detailed overview of how the workflow operates and guides you through customizing and using it, especially if you're new to GitHub or GitHub Actions.
The Automated-Commit
workflow demonstrates the capabilities of GitHub Actions for automating routine tasks within a repository. Specifically, this workflow:
- Checks out the latest code from the
master
branch. - Updates the
TIMESTAMP.txt
file with the current date and time. - Commits the change to the repository if any modifications are detected.
- Pushes the changes back to the
master
branch.
The workflow is defined in the .github/workflows/master.yml
file and includes:
- Triggers: Configured to run every 12 hours and can be manually triggered via the GitHub UI with the
workflow_dispatch
event. - Jobs and Steps: Contains a job
update_commit
that runs on the latest Ubuntu runner, performing tasks such as setting up Git, updatingTIMESTAMP.txt
, and committing and pushing changes. - Permissions: Granted write permissions to the repository contents.
