Allow major version updates for GitHub Actions - #53
Merged
Conversation
The semver-minor/patch allow list was meant to keep major package bumps out of the PR queue, but it applied to the github-actions ecosystem too. Action majors are low risk and worth taking promptly, so drop the allow list there and let Dependabot propose them. The pip restriction stays.

This lets Dependabot open PRs for major version bumps of GitHub Actions again.
The
allowlist added in #49 was meant to keep major package bumps out of the queue, but it was applied to both ecosystems, so action majors were filtered out too. Action bumps are low risk and worth taking promptly, so this drops theallowlist from thegithub-actionsentry. With no list, Dependabot falls back to its default of proposing every update type. Thepipentry keeps its minor/patch-only list.
