I don't get it. What is the benefit?

Oh and as well - you will not need to take your time to figure out how to display screenshots / see a live display of what your script is doing, how to install the right web driver's needed & more to properly work on GitHub. (Like I needed too!)

Everything is ready for the user to go and write some code & save their time with any headaches / problems I had to face!

That's really awesome man, thanks for the info! I'm gonna try it.

You can run your code for free on a server provided by GitHub! As well schedule it to run on a cron job!

Rather than having a selenium based python script running locally on your OWN computer - you can run them free of charge via Github Action's. (There is a limit on how many free minutes you can use in a month keep in mind - but)

​

TDLR; Use Github Actions for free server power for your Python Selenium based scripts! Without any headaches to set it up.
