GitHub rulesets creation rule bypass actors tag creation official documentation

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In GitHub rulesets, bypass actors are specific entities granted permission to circumvent active rules, such as those restricting the creation of tags [1][2]. When configuring a tag ruleset, you can define a creation rule that allows only users with bypass permissions to create tags matching a specified pattern [2][3][4]. To manage these permissions, you add bypass actors to the ruleset&#39;s "Bypass list" [1][5][6]. Eligible bypass actors include: - Repository administrators, organization owners, and enterprise owners [1][5]. - Users with the Maintain or Write repository role [1][6]. - Specific teams (excluding secret teams) [1]. - GitHub Apps [1][7]. - Deploy keys [5][8]. Through the GitHub REST API, these bypass actors are managed via the bypass_actors array, which specifies the actor_type (e.g., Integration, RepositoryRole, Team, User) and the actor_id [3][4]. When using the API to configure bypasses, ensure you have the necessary write access to the ruleset, as the bypass_actors property is protected to prevent sensitive information disclosure [3][4]. Note that while the bypass_mode option pull_request exists for branch rulesets, it is not applicable for tag creation rulesets, as tag creation does not involve pull requests [3][4]. For tag creation, actors are generally configured with bypass_mode: always or exempt [3][4].

Allow a release actor to create tags, or remove the creation rule.

The active ruleset targets all tags. GitHub permits tag creation only for actors with bypass permission, but bypass_actors is empty. The release workflow runs after a v* tag exists; it does not create the tag. An external release process may therefore be unable to create release tags. Add the release actor to bypass_actors, or remove the creation rule if tag creation must remain available.

GitHub repository rulesets API allowed_merge_methods empty array schema pull_request official documentation

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The GitHub repository rulesets API requires that when the allowed_merge_methods parameter is included within the pull_request rule, it must be an array of strings containing at least one of the supported values: merge, squash, or rebase [1][2]. Official documentation explicitly states that at least one option must be enabled [1][2]. Consequently, providing an empty array ([]) for allowed_merge_methods is invalid and will not be accepted by the API, as it violates the requirement that at least one merge method must be selected [1][2]. Technical context and implementation details: - Schema Definition: The allowed_merge_methods property is part of the parameters object for the pull_request rule type [1][3]. It is defined as an array of strings [4]. - Validation: Because the API requires at least one method to be enabled, any attempt to send an empty array or omit the field while expecting it to act as a disable-all mechanism will result in validation errors or unexpected configuration behavior (such as showing diffs in tools like Terraform if the default state is misunderstood) [1][5]. - Development Notes: Users have reported issues with schema clarity and API behavior, noting that if you wish to enforce specific merge methods, you must explicitly include at least one valid method [6][5]. If you do not wish to restrict merge methods, it is generally advised to omit the allowed_merge_methods parameter entirely from the request body rather than sending an empty array [5].

Run the E2E script instead of using a workflow as an action.

.github/workflows/e2e.yml is not an action and does not declare workflow_call. The krl-tests job therefore fails at this step, so the remaining tests do not run. tests/e2e.sh exists and is the workflow's E2E entry command.

GitHub official documentation Dependabot auto-merge GitHub Actions contents write permission gh pr merge --auto

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
To enable auto-merge for Dependabot pull requests using GitHub Actions and the GitHub CLI (gh pr merge --auto), you must explicitly grant the necessary permissions in your workflow configuration, as the default GITHUB_TOKEN has read-only permissions when triggered by Dependabot [1][2][3]. Required Workflow Permissions To successfully execute gh pr merge --auto, your workflow file must include the following permissions [4][3]: permissions: contents: write pull-requests: write Implementation Details 1. Security Context: By default, GitHub Actions workflows triggered by Dependabot receive a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN to prevent unauthorized modifications [1][2]. Explicitly setting permissions: contents: write and pull-requests: write elevates these permissions for the workflow run [2][3]. 2. Repository Settings: Ensure that "Allow auto-merge" is enabled in your repository settings (Settings > General > Pull Requests) [5][6]. 3. Branch Protection: If your repository uses branch protection rules, you must ensure that at least one required status check or review is configured [5]. GitHub will not enable auto-merge if there are no protection rules to satisfy [5]. 4. Example Workflow: name: Dependabot auto-merge on: pull_request permissions: contents: write pull-requests: write jobs: dependabot: runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: github.event.pull_request.user.login == &#39;dependabot[bot]&#39; steps: - name: Dependabot metadata id: metadata uses: dependabot/fetch-metadata@v3 with: github-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}" - name: Enable auto-merge run: gh pr merge --auto --merge "$PR_URL" env: PR_URL: ${{github.event.pull_request.html_url}} GH_TOKEN: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}} Note: Always use a conditional check (e.g., if: github.event.pull_request.user.login == &#39;dependabot[bot]&#39;) to ensure the workflow only triggers on Dependabot pull requests [4][3]. For advanced filtering, you can use the dependabot/fetch-metadata action to restrict auto-merging to specific update types (e.g., semver-patch) [4][3].

<title>Dependabot on GitHub Actions</title> https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/reference/supply-chain-security/dependabot-on-actions # Dependabot on GitHub Actions Detailed information on using Dependabot with GitHub Actions. ## Restrictions when Dependabot triggers events Dependabot is able to trigger GitHub Actions workflows on its pull requests and comments; however, certain events are treated differently. For workflows initiated by Dependabot (`github.actor == &`#39`;dependabot[bot]&`#39`;`) using the `pull_request`, `pull_request_review`, `pull_request_review_comment`, `push`, `create`, `deployment`, and `deployment_status` events, these restrictions apply: - `GITHUB_TOKEN` has read-only permissions by default. - Secrets are populated from Dependabot secrets. GitHub Actions secrets are not available. For workflows initiated by Dependabot (`github.actor == &`#39`;dependabot[bot]&`#39`;`) using the `pull_request_target` event, if the base ref of the pull request was created by Dependabot (`github.event.pull_request.user.login == &`#39`;dependabot[bot]&`#39`;`), the `GITHUB_TOKEN` will be read-only and secrets are not available. These restrictions apply even if the workflow is re-run by a different actor. For more information, see Keeping your GitHub Actions and workflows secure: Preventing pwn requests. ## Requirements for using Dependabot with self-hosted runners To generate Dependabot updates using self-hosted runners, you need to properly configure your system, network, and certificates. ### System requirements Any virtual machine (VM) that you use for Dependabot runners must meet the requirements for self-hosted runners. In addition, they must meet the following requirements. - Linux operating system - x64 architecture - Docker installed with access for the runner users: We recommend installing Docker in rootless mode and configuring the runners to access Docker without `root` privileges. Alternatively, install Docker and give the runner users raised privileges to run Docker. The CPU and memory requirements will depend on the number of concurrent runners you deploy on a given VM. As guidance, we have successfully set up 20 runners on a single 2 CPU 8GB machine, but ultimately, your CPU and memory requirements will heavily depend on the repositories being updated. Some ecosystems will require more resources than others. If you specify more than 14 concurrent runners on a VM, you must also update the Docker `/etc/docker/daemon.json` configuration to increase the default number of networks Docker can create. ```json { "default-address-pools": [ {"base":"10.10.0.0/16","size":24} ] } ``` ### Network requirements Dependabot runners require access to the public internet, GitHub.com, and any internal registries that will be used in Dependabot updates. To minimize the risk to your internal network, you should limit access from the Virtual Machine (VM) to your internal network. This reduces the potential for damage to internal systems if a runner were to download a hijacked dependency. You must also allow outbound traffic to `dependabot-actions.githubapp.com` to prevent the jobs for Dependabot security updates from failing. For more information, see Self-hosted runners reference. ### Certificate configuration If Dependabot needs to interact with registries that use self-signed certificates, those certificates must also be installed on the self-hosted runners that run Dependabot jobs. This security hardens the connection. You must also configure Node.js to use the certificate, because most actions are written in JavaScript and run using Node.js, which does not use the operating system certificate store. <title>Result 2</title> https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/reference/supply-chain-security/troubleshoot-dependabot/dependabot-on-actions # Troubleshooting Dependabot on GitHub Actions This article provides troubleshooting information for issues you may encounter when using Dependabot with GitHub Actions. ## Troubleshooting failures when Dependabot triggers existing workflows After you set up Dependabot updates for GitHub.com, you may see failures when existing workflows are triggered by Dependabot events. By default, GitHub Actions workflow runs that are triggered by Dependabot from `push`, `pull_request`, `pull_request_review`, or `pull_request_review_comment` events are treated as if they were opened from a repository fork. Unlike workflows triggered by other actors, this means they receive a read-only `GITHUB_TOKEN` and do not have access to any secrets that are normally available. This will cause any workflows that attempt to write to the repository to fail when they are triggered by Dependabot. There are three ways to resolve this problem: 1. You can update your workflows so that they are no longer triggered by Dependabot using an expression like: `if: github.actor != &`#39`;dependabot[bot]&`#39`;`. For more information, see Evaluate expressions in workflows and actions. 2. You can modify your workflows to use a two-step process that includes `pull_request_target` which does not have these limitations. For more information, see Troubleshooting Dependabot on GitHub Actions. 3. You can provide workflows triggered by Dependabot access to secrets and allow the `permissions` term to increase the default scope of the `GITHUB_TOKEN`. Some troubleshooting advice is provided in this article. You can also see Workflow syntax for GitHub Actions. ### Accessing secrets When a Dependabot event triggers a workflow, the only secrets available to the workflow are Dependabot secrets. GitHub Actions secrets are not available. You must therefore store any secrets that are used by a workflow triggered by Dependabot events as Dependabot secrets. For more information, see Configuring access to private registries for Dependabot. Dependabot secrets are added to the `secrets` context and referenced using exactly the same syntax as secrets for GitHub Actions. For more information, see Using secrets in GitHub Actions. If you have a workflow that will be triggered by Dependabot and also by other actors, the simplest solution is to store the token with the permissions required in an action and in a Dependabot secret with identical names. Then the workflow can include a single call to these secrets. If the secret for Dependabot has a different name, use conditions to specify the correct secrets for different actors to use. For examples that use conditions, see Automating Dependabot with GitHub Actions. To access a private container registry on AWS with a user name and password, a workflow must include a secret for `username` and `password`. In this example, when Dependabot triggers the workflow, the Dependabot secrets with the names `READONLY_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `READONLY_AWS_ACCESS_KEY` are used. If another actor triggers the workflow, the actions secrets with those names are used. ```yaml copy # This workflow uses actions that are not certified by GitHub. # They are provided by a third-party and are governed by # separate terms of service, privacy policy, and support # documentation. name: CI on: pull_request: branches: [ main ] jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Checkout repository uses: actions/checkout@v6 - name: Login to private container registry for dependencies uses: docker/login-action@3b4c5d6 with: registry: https://1234567890.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com username: ${{ secrets.READONLY_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }} password: ${{ secrets.READONLY_AWS_ACCESS_KEY }} - name: Build the Docker image run: docker build . --file Dockerfile --tag my-image-name:$(date +%s) ``` ### Changing `GITHUB_TOKEN` permissions By default, GitHub Actions workflows triggered by Dependabot get a `GITHUB_TOKEN` with read-only permissions.

Faithful to the official documentation (as of June 2026), it explains, with copy-paste real code: all outputs of dependabot/fetch-metadata@v3, conditional branching by update-type, gh pr merge --auto, the token model of a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN and Dependabot secrets, using pull_request vs. pull_request_target, and how to build safety valves with required checks and branch protection. ... - The iron rule of auto-merge is &`#39`;auto for patch/minor only, human for major.&`#39`; Branch on dependabot/fetch-metadata@v3&`#39`;s update-type output, and reserve a merge after required checks pass with gh pr merge --auto. ... - The GITHUB_TOKEN of a pull_request workflow triggered by Dependabot is read-only by default.

Since auto-merge directly connects to security, always confirm the latest in the official automation guide before production. Don&`#39`;t hardcode secrets other than `GITHUB_TOKEN` in the workflow. ... the repository settings ... First, a working minimal form. The points are to trigger on the `pull_request` event and explicitly declare write permissions on the workflow side. ... ```yaml # .github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml name: Dependabot auto-merge on: pull_request permissions: contents: write # マージに必要 pull-requests: write # PR操作に必要 ... jobs: auto-merge: runs-on: ubuntu-latest # Dependabot 以外のPRでは何もしない(必須のガード) if: github.actor == &`#39`;dependabot[bot]&`#39`; steps: - name: Fetch Dependabot metadata id: meta uses: dependabot/fetch-metadata@v3 with: github-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}" - name: Enable auto-merge for patch & minor if: | steps.meta.outputs.update-type == &`#39`;version-update:semver-patch&`#39`; || steps.meta.outputs.update-type == &`#39`;version-update:semver-minor&`#39`; run: gh pr merge --auto --merge "$PR_URL" env: PR_URL: ${{ github.event.pull_request.html_url }} GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} ``` ... 1. `if: github.actor == &`#39`;dependabot[bot]&`#39`;` — a guard that doesn&`#39`;t run on non-Dependabot PRs. Omitting this is dangerous as it reacts to third-party PRs too. 2. Explicit `permissions:` — the `GITHUB_TOKEN` of a `pull_request` workflow triggered by Dependabot is read-only by default. Explicitly grant `contents: write` and `pull-requests: write` for auto-merge (below). 3. Conditional branching on `update-type` — only `version-update:semver-patch` / `semver-minor`. Major (`semver-major`) is intentionally excluded and routed to a human. ... - The `GITHUB_TOKEN` of a `pull_request` workflow triggered by Dependabot is read-only by default. And it can&`#39`;t access normal Actions secrets. This is a design to prevent a compromised dependency from stealing secrets via CI. - If you need writes, declare `permissions:` within the workflow and elevate only the necessary scope (for Dependabot&`#39`;s `pull_request` event, the permissions declared in the workflow are respected). - If the workflow needs secrets (e.g., a test accessing a private resource), put them in the Dependabot secret store (Settings → Secrets and variables → Dependabot). It&`#39`;s separate from Actions secrets. ... The `dependabot/fetch-metadata` README also has an example using `pull_request_target`, but the safe default is `pull_request`. The reason: ... - `pull_request_target` runs with a token that can read/write in the base repository&`#39`;s context.

This branch protection rule ensures that pull requests are not merged unless all the required status checks pass. For more information, see Managing a branch protection rule. ... If the target branch uses a merge queue, the built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot add pull requests to the queue. In this case, you must authenticate the workflow with a personal access token or a GitHub App token that has permission to merge, and use it in place of `GITHUB_TOKEN` for the `gh pr merge` step. <title>Github Action to open PR and auto merge it · cli cli · Discussion `#13344` · GitHub</title> GitHub discussion 13344 in cli/cli (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) Hello, We are doing a migration to Kubernetes AKS and we are using FluxCD for image automation.

If`main` has zero protection rules, there&`#39`;s nothing to queue against and GitHub refuses to enable auto-merge. Fix: add a branch protection rule on`main` with at least one required status check (or required review) — even a minimal "lint" check is enough. ... `GITHUB_TOKEN` can&`#39`;t enable auto-merge for PRs it created in some GHES configs. This is a deliberate restriction to prevent runaway automation loops. Workaround: create a fine-grained PAT (or use a GitHub App installation token) with`contents: write`+`pull-requests: write`, store it as`secrets.AUTOMERGE_PAT`, and switch the env to`GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.AUTOMERGE_PAT }}` only for the`gh pr merge` step. The PR opens with`GITHUB_TOKEN`, the merge enables with the PAT. ... Enterprise/org-level policy. Auto-merge has to be enabled at three levels on GHES: enterprise → org → repo. Repo-level alone is not enough if the enterprise admin disabled it upstream. Check with your GHES admin or look in`Site admin → Enterprise overview → Policies → Repository policies`. ... For reference, here&`#39`;s a complete working pattern that combines`gh pr create`+`gh pr merge --auto`: ... ``` jobs: open-pr: runs-on: ubuntu-latest permissions: contents: write pull-requests: write steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - name: Open PR and enable auto-merge env: GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} run: | PR_URL=$(gh pr create \ --base main \ --head "${GITHUB_REF_NAME}" \ --title "FluxCD image update" \ --body "Automated PR from FluxCD branch" \ --fill) gh pr merge "$PR_URL" --auto --squash -…[truncated]

Restore contents: write for both workflows.

.github/workflows/rhodibot.yml:175 pushes the generated branch. contents: read cannot authorise this push.

.github/workflows/dependabot-automerge.yml:119 runs gh pr merge --auto --squash. GitHub’s documented workflow requires contents: write and pull-requests: write for this operation. Set these permissions only on the jobs that need them.
