Minimal Python Logging App with GitHub Actions Deployment

This is a minimal Python project demonstrating logging and automated redeployment using GitHub Actions.

Project Structure

• app.py: Main Python application that logs a timestamped message using the built-in logging module
• requirements.txt: Dependencies file (empty, as only built-in modules are used)
• .github/workflows/deploy.yml: GitHub Actions workflow for automated deployment

Features

• Logs a message with the current UTC datetime using Python's logging module
• Automatically runs on pull request merges to main branch
• Supports configurable cron-based scheduling (currently hourly)
• No external dependencies beyond Python standard library

Local Development

1. Ensure Python 3.11+ is installed
2. Run the application: python app.py

GitHub Actions Workflow

The workflow triggers on:

• Push to main branch (e.g., merged pull requests)
• Hourly schedule (configurable in .github/workflows/deploy.yml)

To modify the schedule, edit the cron expression in the workflow file. Examples: DDDDD

• '0 * * * *': Every hour
• '0 0 * * *': Daily at midnight UTC
