Dependabot PRs target the main branch by default and there is no setting to change this. Our development workflow requires these PRs to target the develop branch instead. If we forget to manually change to the target branch for a PR, then we risk committing directly to main (as has happened before).

Solution: Implement a GitHub Action that automatically changes the target branch from main to develop for all Dependabot PRs.

Fix branch ref in dependabot GH action

To trigger action based on PR's head branch name instead base branch name, must use the github.head_ref context in a conditional. The branches property applies only to base branch.
