Fix GitHub Actions grouping rule to use matchManagers#11
Merged
Conversation
github-actions is a manager name, not a datasource. The actual datasources are github-tags, github-digest, and github-runners. Using matchManagers is the correct field per Renovate docs. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

This would've worked as-is, but it's technically wrong and only works because of they're letting it work... in case a new Renovate version "fixes" this, we should use the correct function.

Overview
Corrects the shared Renovate preset so the GitHub Actions grouping rule actually applies: the package rule now uses
matchManagers:["github-actions"]instead ofmatchDatasources, becausegithub-actionsis a Renovate manager, not a datasource.Without this fix, the rule would not match Action updates as intended, so grouped
