This pull request updates the workflow for handling Dependabot pull requests by changing how automatic merges are performed. Instead of commenting to trigger a merge, the workflow now directly merges Dependabot PRs using the GitHub CLI with rebase and admin privileges.
This is needed because GitHub deprecated the
@dependabot mergecommand; despite negative feedback from the community https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/176097https://github.blog/changelog/2026-01-27-changes-to-github-dependabot-pull-request-comment-commands/
Workflow automation changes:
.github/workflows/dependabot-automerge.ymlworkflow to usegh pr mergewith the--rebaseand--adminflags for Dependabot PRs, instead of posting a comment to trigger the merge. This streamlines the process and provides greater control over the merge strategy.
