Schedule comic updates #1

Closed ryanvilbrandt closed 4 years ago

ryanvilbrandt commented 4 years ago

Comic update should be able to run automatically, based on a time of day. The best (and only) way I can see how to do this is updating the cron settings on the GitHub Action.

Example:

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  schedule:
    # Run at 12:00 on working days
    - cron: 0 12 * * 0-5

Not very new-user friendly, but what can you do?

ryanvilbrandt commented 4 years ago

A good default upload date to ship comic_git with is probably 0 8 * * WED

Use these websites for reference when describing cron in the wiki:

Note that GitHub Action scheduling is done in UTC, so users will have to be educated in UTC.

Scheduling has been added to Github Actions. I'll leave it in for now to confirm it's working as intended. After that's confirmed, I'll comment it out.
