📦 Dependabot Pull Request Action

A GitHub Action to automatically label, approve, and merge pull requests made by Dependabot. This was built because the auto-merge feature was removed when Dependabot became a native-GitHub feature.

⭐ Get started

You can run this workflow, for example, once every hour:

name: Auto-merge minor/patch
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 * * * *"
jobs:
  test:
    name: Auto-merge minor and patch updates
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
      - uses: koj-co/dependabot-pr-action@master
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          merge-minor: true
          merge-patch: true

Inputs

token (required)

Your GitHub token, usually {{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} or a personal access token if you have a bot account.

Optional inputs

To add labels to the Dependabot pull request, you can specify a comma-separated string of labels:

| Input | Description | | ------------------- | ------------------------------ | | labels-major | Labels for major releases | | labels-minor | Labels for minor releases | | labels-patch | Labels for patch releases | | labels-premajor | Labels for premajor releases | | labels-preminor | Labels for preminor releases | | labels-prepatch | Labels for prepatch releases | | labels-prerelease | Labels for prerelease releases |

To configure the workflow, you can set any of these inputs to true:

| Input | Description | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------ | | approve | Approve all releases | | approve-major | Approve major releases | | approve-minor | Approve minor releases | | approve-patch | Approve patch releases | | approve-premajor | Approve premajor releases | | approve-preminor | Approve preminor releases | | approve-prepatch | Approve prepatch releases | | approve-prerelease | Approve prerelease releases | | auto-label | Auto label all releases | | auto-label-major | Auto label major releases | | auto-label-minor | Auto label minor releases | | auto-label-patch | Auto label patch releases | | auto-label-premajor | Auto label premajor releases | | auto-label-preminor | Auto label preminor releases | | auto-label-prepatch | Auto label prepatch releases | | auto-label-prerelease | Auto label prerelease releases | | merge | Merge all releases | | merge-major | Merge major releases | | merge-minor | Merge minor releases | | merge-patch | Merge patch releases | | merge-premajor | Merge premajor releases | | merge-preminor | Merge preminor releases | | merge-prepatch | Merge prepatch releases | | merge-prerelease | Merge prerelease releases |

• If you set any auto-label parameter to true, the release type (major, minor, etc.) label will be added to the pull request automatically, if all checks have passed
• If you set any merge parameter to true, the resulting pull request will be auto-merged, if all checks have passed
• If you set any approve parameter to true, the pull request will be automatically approved (with a pull request review), if all checks have passed

If you don't want to check for status checks, you can set the input ignore-status-checks to true. You can also set the merge-commit input if you want a custom merge commit message.
