using github actions to build feeds after commit to master and 3 times a day

[infominer]

his was my first github action and I'm really stoked about how (relatively) easy it was. You should be able to copy this and use it in your project to get Pluto running and requiring minimal intervention on your part :D

I'm new to cron syntax.. so I messed up and accidentally made it run every minute of those hours and every pull\push.. that little bot was running wild...:

- cron: '* 3,11,19 * * *'

that needed to be '0 3,11,19 * * *'  so it only runs at the beginning of those hours... I may end up changing it to hourly.... and maybe some other tweaks... so if you land on this forum and think this is what you were looking for, maybe wanna check the source to see it's evolution.
