Learning action-dependabot-auto-merge

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

At least once

https://github.com/settings/tokens

Set up a PAT (Personal Access Token) named mytoken with these scopes:

• repo for private repositories
• public_repo for public repositories

Per repo

Go to: Settings > Security > Secrets and variables > Dependabot > New repository secret > Name: mytoken, Secret: (paste PAT) > Add secret

Create this file:

.github/workflows/dependabot_auto_merge.yml

Literally post this into that file: (yes, literally ${{ secrets.mytoken }})
