This week, I worked on updating the GitHub Actions workflow for the Mozdownload repository, a download tool created by Mozilla for Firefox and Thunderbird. The GitHub issue I decided to work on was to adjust the Dependabot configuration to automate Python dependency updates related to Node.js actions.
The issue was well-documented, so I had a clear idea of where to make the changes. The goal was to ensure that Dependabot would automatically update these dependencies instead of manually making the updates.
What I did:
Checked the current setup:
- I looked at the existing dependabot.yml file to understand how it was configured.
- I also reviewed GitHub’s documentation to confirm the correct approach.
Made the required changes:
- I updated the configuration to run weekly checks for dependency updates.
Opened a pull request:
After making the changes, I submitted a pull request explaining what I did.
Surprisingly, I received quick feedback on the pull request. The issue author responded promptly, suggesting a minor modification, which they implemented themselves. Shortly after, the pull request was successfully merged into the repository.
Looking forward to contributing to another project next week!
