Besides auto-updating your dependencies, Dependabot can also update GitHub Actions which are in use. We also took this chance to reduce the open pull request limit to a sane value, since the current value of 20 keeps GitHub Actions busy all day just rebasing the Dependabot PRs.
After this change, your .github/dependabot.yml
file should look like this - don't forget to replace YOUR_NAME_HERE
with your GitHub account name:
