Dependabot Changeset Github Action

GitHub action to generate changesets for your dependency updates made via dependabot PRs.

• Supports both normal dependabot PRs, as well as grouped PRs.
• Dedupes dependency updates between releases by updating the existing changeset

Example workflow

This workflow will automatically run the action on PRs made with the dependencies label, the label used by dependabot. It will find the updates made and then commit the changesets to the PR that triggered the action.
