+In the root of your repository create a folder `.github/workflows` and in that
+folder create a file a file `cron.yaml`. This file can be named whatever you
+wish. But it has to be a `yaml` file.
+
+File below (`.github/workflows/cron.yaml`) describes an action that will trigger
+every six hours and it will curl example.com.
+
+However. Be sure that you have enough credits. Free account is not that generous
+with the minutes they give you for free. Check more about GitHub Actions usage
+on their website https://docs.github.com/en/actions.
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/cron.yaml
+name: Do a curl every 6 hours
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 */6 * * *'
+jobs:
+  cron:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Call some url
+        run: curl 'https://example.com'
+```
