It's recommended to use dependabot to get updates to actions like checkout (which is now on v6 and this repo uses v4 for example), to get bugfixes, security updates, etc. It's also useful for lower-event repos (like I maintain for OpenMEEG with stuff like openmeeg/openmeeg#791) just as a reminder that everything is still green. This adds a basic dependabot config that I use in many repos, plus a release.yml that will exclude the dependabot PRs from the auto-generated release notes if you ever decide to use GitHub releases.

This can be tweaked to taste. Most repos I work on use "weekly", but I assumed you'd prefer to be (potentially) bothered less here
