# Keep scheduled workflow activity

With this GitHub Action, scheduled workflow won't be disabled even if there's no recent activity in the repository.

English | [简体中文](README.zh-CN.md)

## Why

In GitHub, scheduled workflows are automatically disabled when no repository activity has occurred in 60 days.

When approaching 60 days, it will show:

> This workflow will be disabled soon because there's no recent activity in the repository.

After 60 days, it will show:

> This scheduled workflow is disabled because there hasn't been activity in this repository for at least 60 days.
