GitHub Actions can run not only on pushes or pull requests, but also on a schedule using CRON syntax.
This is useful for tasks like daily backups, reports, cleanup scripts, or automated checks.

• Trigger: Instead of push or pull_request, the workflow uses schedule.
• Syntax: CRON expression defines when it runs.
• Example Uses:
  • Run tests every night
  • Backup database daily
  • Clean temporary files weekly

The CRON format has five fields:

This table is a visual way to plan multiple scheduled tasks in your workflows. you can take help from: https://crontab.guru/

• 0 0 * * * → Every day at 00:00 UTC
• 0 12 * * 1 → Every Monday at 12:00 UTC
• 30 18 * * * → Every day at 18:30 UTC

This workflow runs every day at midnight (00:00 UTC) and prints a message:

name: Schedule Workflow

on: 
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"
  
jobs:
  run-script:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Print Message
        run: echo "running cron jobs everyday hi i am sagar regmi every mid night"
