Automated Dependency Updates for Github Actions
Renovate supports updating Github Actions dependencies.
File Matching¶
By default, Renovate will check any files matching any of the following regular expressions:
^(workflow-templates|\.github/workflows)/[^/]+\.ya?ml$
(^|/)action\.ya?ml$
For details on how to extend a manager's fileMatch value, please follow this link.
Supported datasources¶
This manager supports extracting the following datasources: github-tags.
Default config¶
{
"fileMatch": [
"^(workflow-templates|\\.github/workflows)/[^/]+\\.ya?ml$",
"(^|/)action\\.ya?ml$"
]
}
Additional Information¶
The github-actions manager extracts dependencies from GitHub Actions workflow and workflow template files.
If you like to use digest pinning but want to follow the action version tag, you can use the following sample:
name: build
on: [push]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@af513c7a016048ae468971c52ed77d9562c7c819 # renovate: tag=v1.0.0
Renovate will update the commit SHA but follow the GitHub tag you specified. Renovate can update digests that use SHA1 and SHA256 algorithms.
If you want to automatically pin action digests add the helpers:pinGitHubActionDigests preset to the extends array:
{
"extends": ["helpers:pinGitHubActionDigests"]
}
