Create a workflow that checks if there are newer versions of dependencies and plugins and pushes on successful build

Maybe this can be useful:

name: Update Maven Dependencies

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * *' # Runs every day at midnight

jobs:
  update-dependencies:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Set up JDK 21
        uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          java-version: '21'

      - name: Update Dependencies
        run: |
          git config --global user.email "actions@github.com"
          git config --global user.name "GitHub Actions"
          mvn versions:use-latest-releases -DgenerateBackupPoms=false -Dmaven.test.skip=true
          git diff
          git add .
          git commit -m "chore: Update Maven dependencies to latest releases [skip ci]"

      - name: Push changes
        uses: ad-m/github-push-action@master
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          branch: master
