Hi! What would we rename it to though? Would it make sense to make a second dedicated action for this instead, and move the commonalities as a helper into |

Maybe dependency-changeset or something like that. maybe copy to a new action and then mark the current one as deprecated |

The action is still named renovate-changesets though.
Hm. Should we make a new parallel one that has this new ability (and is named dependency-manager-changesets)? Possibly deprecating the existing one later down the line in a separate PR.
Alternatively: Should we instead make a new parallel one specifically named dependabot-changesets and leave the old one intact?

The former would require some upstream changes.
The latter would probably create more duplicated code (or the need to share code)

It's set with a default in the yaml file. But still marked as not required here? What's even the return type here, can .trim below get an undefined error if the default wasn't there? See the comment above; maybe it's better to just make two actions that are specialized, or change around how this works a bit

Add in the ability for the renovate changeset action to work with different dependency managers such as dependabot.
I needed/wanted to add this for our own plugins repo so thought it might be a worthwhile contribution.
I didnt go as far as renaming the action itself but that would make sense at some point (if this PR is accepted).
