Problem

I rarely remember that I need to periodically run yarn create @grafana/plugin update, unless someone prompts me or I happen to see something in Slack.

Solution

A GitHub action, similar to dependabot/renovate, which runs yarn create @grafana/plugin update in my repository (optionally in a subdirectory) and creates a PR with the changes. I could run this on a schedule to make sure my plugin is regularly updated.

Alternatives

Idea to work on this:

Modify this to make it package manager-agnostic and put it in https://github.com/grafana/plugin-actions

https://github.com/jackw/heywesty-trafficlight-panel/blob/main/.github/workflows/create-plugin-update.yml

Then modify the create-plugin template to call this action in a cron
