workflow-runs-purge.yml

# Workflow automatically executed so that to clean up workflow runs pilling in the GitHub Actions tab
#
# By default, workflow runs older than 30 days (see 'retain_days' parameter) are removed, every day at
# midnight (see and 'cron' parameters, respectively). The workflow purges his own run to only keep
# 3 of them in a second step (see 'keep_minimum runs').
# A token with the necessary permission for deleting workflow runs must be provided or the 'github.token'
# can also be used.
