  2. Run just update-pr-checks in your terminal.

Manually run each step in the justfile.

Sync-back automation

When Dependabot updates action versions in the generated workflow files (.github/workflows/__*.yml), the sync-back automation ensures those changes are properly reflected in the source templates.

Running sync-back manually

To sync action versions from generated workflows back to source templates:

# Dry run to see what would be changed
./pr-checks/sync-back.sh --dry-run --verbose

# Actually apply the changes
./pr-checks/sync-back.sh

The sync-back script (sync-back.py) automatically updates:

  • Hardcoded action versions in pr-checks/sync.py
  • Action version references in template files in pr-checks/checks/
  • Action version references in regular workflow files

This ensures that the verify-pr-checks.sh test always passes after Dependabot PRs.
