-## Does continuous integration build with Java 8 and 11 and 
-## if succeeds and due to a dependabot pull request (minor or
-## patch verson change) it will automatically merge the PR. 
-
-## Unlike many sample automerge workflows this does not rely 
-## on third-party libraries apart from the official dependabot
-## repository ones. This reduces the security risk significantly
-## (we don't want to unknowingly merge malicious code or expose 
-## secrets to a malicious third party).
