GitHub Copilot app for Beginners: Automate Dependabot pull request triage

GitHub Copilot app automations can streamline Dependabot pull request triage by reviewing open updates on a recurring schedule, categorizing them by risk and version type, checking CI status, and producing a concise set of recommended actions. Users create an automation by naming it, choosing a trigger such as daily execution, selecting cloud or local operation, describing the desired workflow in natural language, and choosing the repository to analyze. The resulting summary can identify safe patch updates, distinguish minor and major upgrades, flag failing CI or dependencies needing investigation, and reduce the need to inspect each pull request individually. Automation runs are saved for later review, and users can launch a Copilot session with the existing context when a dependency upgrade requires deeper work, such as completing a framework migration.
