Reusable Workflows from the Enthusiasts πŸŽ‰

The repository contains all general workflows which can be used for every workflow in another repository. If you want to have more information you can take a look at the GitHub documentation.

If you want to use a template workflow you can copy the following template and adapt it to your specific use case. You can find all possible template workflows in the directory .github/workflows with the name template_*.yml.

name: <your name>

on:
  ...

jobs:
  <action name>:
    uses: Staffbase/gha-workflows/.github/workflows/template_*.yml@v5.2.0
    with:

Example Configurations πŸ”§

In this section you can find examples of how to use template workflows. For more information, please take a look at the templates.

Auto-Merge Dependabot

The action can be used to auto-merge a dependabot PR with minor and patch updates.

The action is called by creating a PR. It is necessary that the repository is enabled for auto-merge. Afterward the PR will be merged with the help of the merge queue if all required conditions of the repository are fulfilled.

⚠️ You can also force a merge of a PR. This means that the PR will immediately be merged. If you want to enable the force merge, make sure that the app can bypass any protection rules.
