Dependabot has support for updating the Github Actions we use on our CI. Since we are moving most of our CI to Github Actions it can be useful to enable it for this too.

I have a couple of quick questions:

  1. In order to enable Dependabot for GitHub actions, I have to edit the dependabot.yml file. There is a comment on the top of the file that says "File generated by 'make gendependabot'; DO NOT EDIT." Is it okay to edit this file just for this issue?

  2. How often should the Dependabot check for new updates (weekly or daily)?

No, you should modify the make gendependabot task to add this (and do so also on the opentelemetry-collector repo!)

How often should the Dependabot check for new updates (weekly or daily)?

Since this should be rather easy to change I would just pick whichever frequency you think it's best (maybe weekly?) and we can discuss it on the PR
