Trigger GitHub Actions Workflow

To manually trigger a GitHub Actions workflow run, you can use cURL with the GitHub API. Follow the steps below:

1. Copy and paste the following cURL command into your terminal:

   curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.everest-preview+json" \
       -H "Authorization: token YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
       --request POST \
       --data '{"event_type": "run"}' \
       https://api.github.com/repos/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY/dispatches

   Make sure to replace YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN with your GitHub personal access token and YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY with your GitHub username and repository name.

2. Execute the cURL command in your terminal.

This command will trigger a GitHub Actions workflow run for the specified repository.
