+# Automated-Commit
+
+Automated-Commit is a simple and reusable example of a GitHub Actions workflow that periodically updates a file (`TIMESTAMP.txt`) with the current date and time and performs an automatic commit when it detects changes.
+
+## Description
+
+This repository demonstrates how to automate routine tasks in a repository using GitHub Actions. The main workflow:
+
+- Clones the content from the `master` branch.
+- Updates (or creates) a `TIMESTAMP.txt` file with the current date and time.
+- Performs a commit if the file changed.
+- Pushes the commit back to the `master` branch.
+
+The goal is to serve as a template for automatic maintenance tasks (for example, periodic updates, status files, or similar scheduled tasks).
+
+## Features
+
+- Automatically executable on schedule (every 12 hours by default).
+- Allows manual execution from the Actions tab (`workflow_dispatch`).
+- Minimal configuration: Git name and email configured in the workflow.
+
+## Workflow Structure
+
+The workflow is defined in `.github/workflows/master.yml` and includes:
+
+- Triggers: `schedule` (cron every 12 hours) and `workflow_dispatch` for manual execution.
+- Main job: `update_commit` that runs on `ubuntu-latest`.
+- Steps: checkout, configure Git, update `TIMESTAMP.txt`, commit, and push.
+- Permissions: the workflow needs write permissions (default GITHUB_TOKEN usually suffices).
+
+## Requirements
+
+- A repository on GitHub.
+- GitHub Actions enabled in the repository.
+
+## Installation and Usage
+
+1. Use this repository as a template (click the "Use this template" button) or clone it locally.
+2. Open `.github/workflows/master.yml` and customize the configuration values (see "Configuration" section below).
+3. Push the changes to `master` to activate the workflow.
+
+### Manual Execution
+
+1. Go to the `Actions` tab in your repository.
+2. Select the `Automated-Commit` workflow.
+3. Click "Run workflow" and confirm the branch.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit `.github/workflows/master.yml` as needed:
+
+- Configure the `GIT_USER_EMAIL` and `GIT_USER_NAME` variables in Settings > Secrets and variables > Variables (optional; if not set, the default GitHub Actions account will be used).
+- Change the cron frequency if you need a different interval.
+- If you prefer, change the filename `TIMESTAMP.txt` to another target file.
+
+Security best practice: use the `GITHUB_TOKEN` provided by Actions for automatic pushes; avoid putting personal access tokens in plain text.
+
+## Common Customizations
+
+- Modify the cron: change the expression in `schedule` within the yml file.
+- Change the target file: update the filename that the script writes to.
+- Add tests or validations: insert additional steps before the commit to validate changes.
