When can I expect my changes to be merged?

Our goal is to get community contributions seen and reviewed as efficiently as possible.

Hi @openedx/committers-frontend! Would someone be able to take a look at this? The author's CLA is all set, so the tests should run green.

@beingfaisal @mphilbrick211 LGTM. I'm just wondering if there is some issue/document/description/slack message /etc describing the overall plan here? I have seen this code work on other repos, so it makes sense to me, but I know some of the other upgrade bots like renovate are configured separately and in such cases it's better not to have the configuration in each repo like this. I just want to make sure someone has checked and determined this (opening a PR to add the file to each repo) is the best approach.

I am also curious about this

in such cases it's better not to have the configuration in each repo like this

Even in cases with the file living in each repo, they are generally managed via repo-checks and https://github.com/openedx/.github iirc.

@feanil do you know anything about these dependabot PRs?

[bradenmacdonald]

@brian-smith-tcril Hmm, looks like an expanded version of this actually is in that repo: https://github.com/openedx/.github/blob/master/.github/dependabot.yml

Does that mean we don't need it here as well, or does that mean it's best practice and should be copied here?

[feanil]

We're doing this as a part of openedx/repo-tools#386

The reason that it's not using repo-checks is because some repos are using the file to also keep other dependencies up-to-date and others aren't so this is to just start getting github actions updated without having to solve for that at the same time.

Thanks for the context!

@beingfaisal would you mind updating the description on this PR and similar GH Action dependabot PRs to link back to the repo-tools issue?

[brian-smith-tcril]

Thank you for this! It'll be great to keep all the actions up to date!
