update-flake-lock-test

This repository is a template for testing changes to the https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/update-flake-lock/ action.

Usage

1. Click "Use this template"
2. Give it a name, and click "Create repository from template"
3. Modify the .github/workflows/update.yml file to point to your fork's update-flake-lock repository and branch
4. Go to the "Actions" tab and click on "update-flake-lock"
5. Then click the "Run workflow" dropdown
6. Finally, click the "Run workflow" button

At this point, your action will be running against a flake.nix with an outdated flake.lock in a simulation of a real-word use case. If the action succeeds, you should see a PR appear against that repository.
