Context

At the moment, the Action changes all tags in a single commit, pushes to a single branch, and opens a single PR. An alternative way to manage this would be to follow the dependabot pattern where a new branch/PR is created for each dependency being updated during that run of the bot.

Pros:

  • Would allow for more easy management of dependency upgrading for maintainers - merging a single PR represents making a single change to your code, as opposed to lots of dependencies being upgraded at the same time

Cons:

  • Lots of repeated calls to the API
  • Multiple PRs can be noisy (provide a max_pull_request variable like dependabot)
  • We will need a more "clever" way to identify previously opened PRs
