Common Dependabot

[MSevey]

Look into creating a common dependabot file in this repo and then using github actions to push the file out to all the other repos.

Something similar to this thread: https://devops.stackexchange.com/questions/17893/best-practices-for-managing-github-actions-workflows-in-an-organization

Example workflow might look like:

• if dependabot file has changed, add label to PR
• on merge, check for the diff or label to trigger sending out updates
• copy the file into the repos via PR

This is the underlying action https://github.com/BetaHuhn/repo-file-sync-action

Also look to sync labels as part of this work

you can clone labels from one repo to another with github CLI using gh label clone command
