weekly-cleanup.yml

name: 'weekly artifacts cleanup'

## Rather than this action firing on a push or PR, we want this action to fire
## on a regular interval. For that, we use a cron-string. This action currently
## fires automatically at 1 am UTC every day (or as close to it as possible).
## Check https://crontab.guru for examples and a cron string builder
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 1 * * *'

jobs:

  ## We only one job: clean up any build artifacts which are more than 7 days
  ## old.
  ## This is because GitHub only allows us to have a certain amount of storage
  ## space for build artifacts on free accounts, and it's always a good idea
  ## to clean up after yourself
  delete-artifacts:

    ## Each job can run on different OS images. Even though the repo has a hard
    ## requirement on Windows for it's build job, this one can be run on a Linux
    ## image - we're specifying Ubuntu vLatest here.
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      ## We only want one step, and we want it to use the following action.
      - uses: kolpav/purge-artifacts-action@v1
        with:
          ## GitHub will create and insert a token here for us. This token will
          ## allow the delete-artifacts job to reach into the GitHub settings
          ## for us and delete any artifacts which were created more than 7 days
          ## ago.
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          expire-in: 7days # Setting this to 0 will delete all artifacts
