…tion Use of the major version ref will cause the workflow to benefit from ongoing development to its `actions/github-script` GitHub Actions action dependency at each patch or minor release up until such time as a new major release is made. Dependabot will submit a PR at that time, which will serve as the notification that a newer version is available. At that time, the maintainer should evaluate whether any changes to the workflow are required by the breaking change that triggered the major release before manually updating the major ref (i.e., `uses: actions/github-script@v5`).

The
actions/github-scriptGitHub Actions action dependency of the "github-stats" workflow is pinned to the patch version. This means it must be updated every time a release of the action is made.Use of the major version ref will cause the workflow to automatically benefit from ongoing development to its
actions/github-scriptGitHub Actions action dependency at each patch or minor release without any intervention from a maintainer, up until such time as a new major release is made. Dependabot will submit a PR at that time, which will serve as the notification that a newer version is available. At that time, the maintainer should evaluate whether any changes to the workflow are required by the breaking change that triggered the major release before manually updating the major ref (i.e.,uses: actions/github-script@v5).titled accordingly?
Not breaking.
