🚀 Feature Proposal

Add an option to use github's auto-merge feature.

https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/incorporating-changes-from-a-pull-request/automatically-merging-a-pull-request

This feature request may by related to #251.

Motivation

We don't use github actions and CI status checks are required to merge. When dependabot creates a PR, github-action-merge-dependabot immediately tries to merge the PR but fails because the required status checks are not successful. One idea is to use github's auto-merge feature and let github merge PRs instead of github-action-merge-dependabot.

Would you be interested in sending a PR for this?

Mmm, it won't happen soon to be honest. I'm not familiar with github actions and its api. But I found that to enable auto-merge PRs, we need to use graphql api https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/24719#discussioncomment-3245222.

Well, I played with the github api and opened a PR #302. I confirmed that it works but need to add tests. @simoneb Could you help me to finish the PR? Thank you.

@simoneb Hello, added test to #302. Could you take a look?
