This is a nice automated tool to keep the various GitHub Actions dependencies up-to-date without needing to monitor them.
E.g., I noticed we are on v4 of this action which has current 'latest' version v6:
data.table/.github/workflows/rchk.yaml
Line 36 in 458d12a
Example dependabot PR from {lintr}:
r-lib/lintr#2992
It's generally a good idea to scan the update log -- an automation tool like this introduces some risk of getting exposed to a security issue (while also removing the security risk of continuing to use versions with known flaws). The actions we use are among the highest-volume actions, so I think that risk is low.
