Ready-to-use GitHub Actions config
Drop this into your project. The expression is the one above.
on:
schedule:
- cron: "0 9 * * 1"The GitHub Actions fields, in order: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day-of-month (1-31), month (1-12), day-of-week (0-6, 0 = Sunday).
Things to watch out for in GitHub Actions
- GitHub uses POSIX cron: day-of-week is 0-6 with Sunday as 0.
- Scheduled workflows only run on the default branch, and public repos pause them after 60 days without activity.
- GitHub Actions schedules are always UTC. Convert your local time to UTC before writing the expression.
The common mistake with this schedule
In Quartz and EventBridge, 1 means Sunday, so 0 9 ? * 1 fires on Sunday. Monday is 2, or write MON.
