Action responsible for deleting old artifacts by setting expire duration.

Hopefuly this is just temporary solution till github implements this functionality natively.

Required for how long the artifacts should be kept. Most of the human readable formats are supported 10 minutes, 1hr 20mins, 1week. Take a look at parse-duration for more information.

Serialized list of deleted artifacts. Empty [] when nothing is deleted

Run this action as cron. This won't delete artifacts of running workflows because they are persisted after workflow completion.

name: 'Delete old artifacts'
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 * * * *' # every hour

jobs:
  delete-artifacts:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: kolpav/purge-artifacts-action@v1
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          expire-in: 7days # Setting this to 0 will delete all artifacts

There are few improvements to be made, namely

• More delete strategies (name, size, number of occurences, regex match on name etc..)
• Better test coverage
