📦 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.
