github-actions

Reusable GitHub Actions for js-soft repositories.

release-dependency-updates

Checks whether all commits on a branch since the latest GitHub release were authored by Renovate or Dependabot. If no latest GitHub release exists, it checks all commits on the branch instead. If all checked commits are dependency-bot commits, it creates a GitHub release with generated release notes.

jobs:
    release:
        uses: js-soft/github-actions/.github/workflows/release-dependency-updates.yml@main
        with:
            branch: main
        secrets:
            github-token: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}

The first release is created as 0.1.0. Later releases increment the latest release's patch version.

Secrets:

• github-token: token used to read commits and create the release. Use a PAT when the created release should trigger follow-up workflows.

Inputs:

• branch: branch to inspect and release from. Defaults to main.
