Hi,
I am using dependabot to minimize chances of being a victim of supply-chain attack. It works like this: when a new version appears (e.g. GitHub Action used by my project), dependabot creates PR with links to history of changes since the currently used version of dependency.

In case of vmactions/openbsd-vm, PR looks like:

Bumps vmactions/openbsd-vm from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4.

Release notes

Sourced from vmactions/openbsd-vm's releases.

minor fix

Add waitForVMReady

Commits

Due to automatic commits, it's labor-intensive to check them one-by-one. As a workaround, I'm using Files changed tab in compare view (the last link above), but this way I see only one diff with all commits combined.

Could you consider changes to your workflow, to make easier life for users interesting in history changes? I have few ideas:

  • use conventional commits - message prefixes draws the reader attention to most important commits
  • manually edit release notes with info about major changes - users will be less prone to overlook changes in usage instructions (like in process bash failed #13)
  • work inside branches and move changes to default branch as a one squashed commit - but this will probably significantly change your current workflow.
