DependaMerge - GitHub Action

GitHub action that processes pull requests created and processed by dependabot[bot]. Depending on the settings, the pull request is approved and/or merged. The action is triggered by the pull_request event and only processes pull requests created by dependabot[bot].

Usage

The simplest variant of the pipeline configuration could look like this. However, it is recommended to link this job with a build and test process. This ensures that the code is tested before it is merged.

  pull_request:

  dependabot:

        uses: dailydevops/dependamerge-action@v1
