### 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
