The keep alive v2 action allows to use the GH API instead of dummy commits. However, it comes with a few pitfalls 🤔
The API call keeps a workflow alive, not the entire repository. So we need to either add the step to every workflow to keep alive, or use the workflows setting. This is prone to break.
We need to update the permissions in the workflow too.
So in this repo I'm merging the two workflows for simplicity and a cleaner git history. Let me know if you prefer a separate workflow file + dummy commits, though.
