Add Dependabot config for updating GH Actions #10917

Closed bencomp closed 1 month ago

bencomp commented 1 month ago

What this PR does / why we need it: Configure @dependabot to check for outdated GitHub Actions in workflows

Which issue(s) this PR closes:

Special notes for your reviewer: I followed https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/keeping-your-actions-up-to-date-with-dependabot to create the file. Nothing will probably happen before this is merged.

I only included the github-actions ecosystem. Dependabot should not start creating PRs for Maven updates.

Suggestions on how to test this: Watch out for pull requests created by Dependabot.

Does this PR introduce a user interface change? If mockups are available, please link/include them here: No.

Is there a release notes update needed for this change?: No.

Additional documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/ecosystems-supported-by-dependabot/supported-ecosystems-and-repositories#github-actions lists some caveats. Importantly, locally referenced and Docker-style actions are not checked for available updates.

This is the same as #9251 except for the check interval.
