GitHub Actions Version Updater Updates All GitHub Action Versions in a Repository and Creates a Pull Request with the Changes.
GitHub Actions Version Updater
GitHub Actions Version Updater is GitHub Action that is used to update other GitHub Actions in a Repository
and create a pull request with the updates. It is an automated dependency updater similar to GitHub's Dependabot
but for GitHub Actions.
How Does It Work:
GitHub Actions Version Updater first goes through all the workflows
in a repository and checks for updates for each of the action used in those workflows.
If an update is found and if that action is not ignored then the workflows are updated
with the latest release of the action being used.
If at least one workflow file is updated then a new branch is created with the changes and pushed to GitHub.
Finally, a pull request is created with the newly created branch.
I finished building a GitHub Action that updates other GitHub Action Versions in a repository, kinda like Dependabot but for GitHub Actions
