Cron & schedules

Every cron-triggered pipeline across your repositories in one calendar — plus contention warnings when too many jobs start at once.

Open in Gitera

GitHub buries on.schedule.cron entries inside individual workflow files. Gitera parses them across all repositories and branches into a single view.

What you get

  • Calendar and list views of every scheduled trigger, in your local time.
  • Contention detection — highlights time slots where dozens of jobs start together (midnight, top of the hour). Those bursts flood the runner queue and inflate queue times.

Typical uses

  • Spread nightly jobs over 02:00–05:00 instead of all firing at 00:00.
  • Find forgotten schedules in archived or legacy repositories that still burn compute minutes — see Cost analytics.
