Auto-merge non-major Dependabot PRs - #155
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The cron job using AnandChowdhary/dependabot-pr-action@master never merged anything, so patch bumps piled up. Replace it with dependabot/fetch-metadata and merge every non-major Dependabot PR as soon as it opens or is rebased. Disable Renovate here: Dependabot security updates already cover the same vulnerabilities, so every alert produced two PRs.

No issue — reported directly: six Dependabot PRs (patch bumps included) sat unmerged despite the existing auto-merge cron.
Context and Purposes
The daily cron with
AnandChowdhary/dependabot-pr-action@masternever merged anything. It is replaced bydependabot/fetch-metadata(SHA-pinned), which squash-merges every non-major Dependabot PR when it opens or gets rebased. Major bumps stay for manual review.Renovate is disabled here. Dependabot security updates already cover the same alerts, so each vulnerability produced two PRs.
Challenges and Solutions
There is no required check on
main, and adding one would block direct web edits and theFormatauto-commit. So the workflow merges directly instead of enabling GitHub auto-merge. The only PR check today isTypos check, which says nothing about dependency bumps.Expected Feedback
