Conversation
Dependabot reads its config only from the default branch. Without target-branch entries, all PRs go to main and the weekly branch diverges. Mirror each update block with target-branch: "weekly" so GitHub Actions and Docker image bumps are also proposed against weekly. Signed-off-by: Bruno Verachten <gounthar@gmail.com>

Summary
Dependabot reads its configuration exclusively from the default branch. Without
target-branchentries, all automated dependency PRs targetmainonly — theweeklybranch accumulates stale GitHub Actions and Docker image versions over time.Changes
.github/dependabot.yml: Mirror every existing update block with an identical entry that addstarget-branch: "weekly", covering GitHub Actions workflows and all Docker image directories.Result
Dependabot will now open parallel PRs for both
mainandweeklywhenever a new version is detected, keeping the two branches in sync on dependency freshness.
