This action keeps Gradle Wrapper up-to-date to the latest release. It will run every day at midnight (UTC) and create a pull request if a new Gradle version is available. The updated Wrapper script is validated (with checksum verification) during the update process, and the Wrapper is setup so that it will validate the Gradle binary itself on first run of the new version.

Thank you @cristiangreco for both participating in the GitHub Actions hackathon and also the contribution here! Sorry for the delayed response to the PR.
It took a bit to understand the approach as I'm not experienced with TS but it looks like a useful tool to automate this process and to help us stay on top of the recent releases of the wrapper. Seems very well executed and the documentation in the repo is great!
Would you mind rebasing/merging the latest from master so it can be merged? Thanks again

Description
Hey there 👋
would you be willing to use this GitHub Action to automatically keep Gradle Wrapper updated to latest release? I've created the action as part of the DEV Actions Hackathon and submitted in this post: seeing the action being used in DEV app itself would definitely help me spread the word! This is already being used in other projects, for example in Anki!
So what does "Update Gradle Wrapper Action" do? It can be configured to run at scheduled intervals (e.g. daily or weekly) and will check whether the Wrapper script in the repo is up-to-date to the latest Gradle release: in case a new Gradle version is available, it will create a PR to update the Wrapper. And that's it!
Why is that a good thing? Well, first of all it alleviates the chore of manually updating the Wrapper: you got a bot that keeps track of new Gradle releases for you! More importantly, it boosts security around the Wrapper update and usage processes: this actions verifies that the
gradle-wrapper.jarfile has not been tampered with (uses checksum comparison), and it sets thedistributionSha256Sumproperty so that the new Gradle binary itself will be verified locally upon download.In this PR I propose adding a new workflow which runs the action every day at midnight (but feel free to adjust the frequency as you prefer). I've verified it works correctly in my fork of the repo, and you can see here how the generated PR looks like.
The action is under active development, you can have a look at the list of inputs currently supported. There's new features coming up soon and if you'd like to request any particular change just let me know!
Hope you can find this useful, would love your feedback! ❤️
