How to merge a Dependabot PR

The "distribution" for a GitHub Action is checked into the repository itself. In the case of the gradle-build-action, the transpiled sources are committed to the dist directory. Any production dependencies are inlined into the distribution. So if a Dependabot PR updates a production dependency (or a dev dependency that changes the distribution, like the Typescript compiler), then a manual step is required to rebuild the dist and commit.

The simplest process to follow is:

  1. Checkout the dependabot branch locally eg: git checkout dependabot/npm_and_yarn/actions/github-5.1.0
  2. Run npm install to download and the new dependencies and install locally
  3. Run npm run build to regenerate the distribution
  4. Push the changes to the dependabot branch
  5. If/when the checks pass, you can merge the dependabot PR
