This pull request aims to further automize Dependabot pull requests.
Earlier, we introduced automation to approve pull requests.
The adjustments below aim to automatically merge pull requests originating from the "actor"
dependabot[bot].Note that part of this pull request is branch protection settings within this repository, which since they are GitHub settings cannot be part of the PR.
These settings require a successful run of the JDK8, JDK11, and JDK17 builds for a given pull request.
So when any of the three fails, the branch protection rule ensures the pull request cannot be automatically merged.
Furthermore, to minimize the impact of this automation, for now, I've set it to only act on patch version increments.
This is done through the
ifblock validating whether theupdate-typeis of typesemver-patch.Lastly, it's worthwhile to note that I've based all this on the Dependabot automation documentation of GitHub
