FAQ

Can you offer a major version tag/branch alias? I want automatic updates!

Nope! This was always weird/bad pattern of github actions. Luckily github offers a solution for this. Create a .github/dependabot.yml with, at a minimum, the following config:

# Basic dependabot.yml file with
# minimum configuration for two package managers

version: 2
updates:
  # Enable updates to github actions
  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "daily"
