Great event! For those who Python, I maintain a tutouring repository for CI/deployment good practices where I combine tox, readthedocs, github actions, and more. I use this setup in all my research projects. And, you can use this repository as a template (it is not a coockiecutter). Enjoy, share, and comment.

So, if I add a pre-existing github action to my project and tweak it according to my needs..it will be a valid project? If not, can someone suggest me what exactly I have to do with pre-existing GitHub actions in order for it to be accepted?

This is what they said in the announcement:

we’re encouraging participants to utilize existing GitHub Actions to create workflows that make sense in the real world.

I think your entry will be valid as long as you tweak it enough. And how much is enough? There's no hard and fast number, but look at your project as it was written by another developer. Will you accept it as a valid project?
