Clojure Dependency Update Action

A simple GitHub action to create Pull Requests for your out-of-date dependencies in clojure projects. This action can automatically update the following dependency files:

• deps.edn
• shadow-cljs.edn
• project.clj
• build.boot
• pom.xml

This action uses antq to check dependencies.
