Automate Dependabot Triage with GitHub Copilot: Risk Grouping and CI Checks
GitHub Blog AI/ML · rss · 2026-08-27
The GitHub Blog details how to use GitHub Copilot automations to handle Dependabot pull requests. The workflow involves creating a daily automation, describing the task in natural language (e.g., group by risk, verify CI status, identify safe patches), and receiving a structured summary. This helps developers distinguish between mergeable minor updates and critical changes requiring review. Users can also transition directly from the automation results to a Copilot session for further migration work.
