使用 Dependabot 保持操作的最新状态

When you enable Dependabot version updates for GitHub Actions, Dependabot will help ensure that references to actions in a repository's workflow.yml file and reusable workflows used inside workflows are kept up to date. For more information, see About Dependabot version updates.

Enabling Dependabot version updates for actions

1. If you have already enabled Dependabot version updates for other ecosystems or package managers, simply open the existing dependabot.yml file. Otherwise, create a dependabot.yml configuration file in the .github directory of your repository. For more information, see Configuring Dependabot version updates.
2. Specify "github-actions" as a package-ecosystem to monitor.
3. Set the directory to "/" to check for workflow files in .github/workflows.
4. Set a schedule.interval to specify how often to check for new versions.
5. Check the dependabot.yml configuration file in to the .github directory of the repository. If you have edited an existing file, save your changes.

You can also enable Dependabot version updates on forks. For more information, see Configuring Dependabot version updates.

Example dependabot.yml file for GitHub Actions

The example dependabot.yml file below configures version updates for GitHub Actions. The directory must be set to "/" to check for workflow files in .github/workflows. The schedule.interval is set to "weekly". After this file has been checked in or updated, Dependabot checks for new versions of your actions. Dependabot will raise pull requests for version updates for any outdated actions that it finds. After the initial version updates, Dependabot will continue to check for outdated versions of actions once a week.

# Set update schedule for GitHub Actions
