dependabot-changesets

GitHub Action to autogenerate changesets for dependabot pull requests.

Current features & limitiations

• Only create changesets for top-level production dependencies that update the version requirement in package.json, creating empty changesets for indirect/transitive/development dependencies.
• Create patch level changesets by default for each changed package
• Should support basic monorepo setups but I haven't tested this yet so bugs might be lurking for more complex setups
