A lightweight GitHub Action to ping a specified URL using Node.js’s built-in https module.
This is especially useful for setting up simple cron jobs to keep services awake, monitor uptime, or trigger remote tasks.

By combining this action with GitHub Actions' built-in scheduled workflows, you can easily create a cron job to ping any URL on a regular basis—without needing your own server or infrastructure.

Required — The URL you want to ping.
