Dogfood: Automate dependency checking #48

Closed dotemacs closed 3 years ago

dotemacs commented 3 years ago

tl;dr I created a workflow that checks the dependencies of the project using depot and creates a PR to update the dependencies.

I figured that it would be nice for depot to keep an eye on itself and check if any of its dependencies get stale.

I don't know what your feelings are towards GitHub actions, but seeing how the project is on GitHub it made sense to me to create an automated workflow which would check the dependencies of depot, using depot.

In the PR I've included the steps for creating the badge that can be displayed in the README showing if the dependencies are up to date or not. But before I go and do that, do is this something you think that the project could use?

If you like this change, maybe I can add one that runs tests also, that way the code can be checked each time somebody makes a PR or you merge into master.

What do you think?

Ah neat, sorry I missed this, I can't see any harm in checking this, seems pretty useful. Not so sure about the badge part, I don't particularly care about keeping everything up to date unless it's for security or compatibility reasons. So just having it run and check that it exits nicely / doesn't explode is a good canary. Thanks!
