Overview

Changes:

  • Added a workflow for automatically approving and merging patch and minor Dependabot updates.
  • Reduced the frequency of updates (now "quarterly")

Related Issue / Discussion

I've configured a method of Dependabot gaining an access token via the Birdhouse Helper Bot. This secret is only accessible to Pull Requests opened by Dependabot.

This workflow has been implemented for Ouranos repositories without issues.

Additional Information

This change is being made to address the following announcement:

Beginning January 27, 2026, Dependabot will no longer support the https://github.com/dependabot merge command. Please use GitHub's native pull request controls instead. Please see the changelog announcement for additional details.
