A simple repo that can be forked and configured to download, unpack, commit, create a PR and merge the current state of a Simplifier project.

Enable actions

The action is disabled in this repo, so must be enabled. Additionally, when forking a repo, even if an action is enabled in the original repo, it may be necessary to enable actions to run as they are by default set to disabled on fork. See the github docs on forking settings in regards to actions, and enabling/disabling workflows for more details.

The action is set to run hourly by default in the action file.
