Build: Group Dependabot npm security update PRs - #5920
Merged
Merged
Conversation
We already have automatic Dependabot monthly updates of GitHub actions in a group but we haven't enabled automatic update PRs for npm packages as the volume would be too large; we only enabled security update PRs for those packages. Still, often we get multiple such security update PRs; this PR changes the logic to group them into a single PR as well. In order for this config to not enable non-security automatic updates of all npm packages, we set `open-pull-requests-limit` to 0.

Summary
We already have automatic Dependabot monthly updates of GitHub actions in a group but we haven't enabled automatic update PRs for npm packages as the volume would be too large; we only enabled security update PRs for those packages. Still, often we get multiple such security update PRs; this PR changes the logic to group them into a single PR as well.
In order for this config to not enable non-security automatic updates of all npm packages, we set
open-pull-requests-limitto 0.You can see an example grouped security update PR in my fork where I experimented first with this config: mgol#20
