### Known issue: Tag format for GitHub Actions in monorepos | ||||||
|
||||||
If your repository contains multiple GitHub Actions (for example, in a monorepo), the tag format you use affects how {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} detects and updates action versions. | ||||||
|
||||||
- **Dash (-) separator (e.g., `@my-action-v0.1.0`):** | ||||||
- {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} may group multiple actions under a single dependency entry or fail to detect new versions correctly. This occurs because {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} relies on slash-based tag parsing to distinguish between actions. | ||||||
- **Slash (`/`) separator (e.g., `@my-action/v0.1.0`):** | ||||||

Suggested change
|
||||||
- {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} correctly detects and updates each action independently, as the slash creates a hierarchical tag structure that aligns with {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}'s parsing logic. | ||||||
|
||||||
**Example**: | ||||||
```yaml | ||||||
# Recommended: namespaced with slash | ||||||
uses: my-org/monorepo/my-action@my-action/v0.1.0 | ||||||
|
||||||
# Not recommended: dash | ||||||
uses: my-org/[email protected] | ||||||
``` | ||||||
|
||||||
**Recommendation:** | ||||||
For monorepos with multiple actions, use the `name/version` (slash) format for action tags. This ensures {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} can parse the tag hierarchy correctly and update actions independently. |
