# GitHub Action: Workflow Keepalive

GitHub Action to prevent GitHub from [disabling scheduled workflows due to

repository inactivity][1].

[1]: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/usage-limits-billing-and-administration#disabling-and-enabling-workflows

Compared to other similar GitHub Actions

(,

), 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.

## Usage:

Invoke this action in all scheduled workflows that you need to continue

running even if there's no activity in the repo:

```yaml

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

```
