renovate-autoclose-action

GitHub Actions to close Renovate failed pull requests automatically

Motivation

By enabling automerge and platformAutomerge, you can merge Renovate pull requests automatically and quickly. But there would be some pull requests which can't be merged automatically. The number of pull requests which Renovate can create is limited by prConcurrentLimit and branchConcurrentLimit. So if pull requests are kept open, the number of pull requests which Renovate can create would be decreased. This is inconvenient if you want to update many dependencies automatically.

By running this action periodically, pull requests which are kept open would be closed and their branches are removed automatically then you can update many dependencies efficiently.

Example

name: Close Renovate pull requests

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs: {}
  schedule:
    # The "*" (#42, asterisk) character has special semantics in YAML, so this
    # string has to be quoted.
    - cron: '0/15 * * * *'
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
