GitHub Action to update yarn 2 `yarn.lock` on dependabot PRs
# Automatically save updated `yarn.lock` file for dependabot PRs.
# This is necessary because dependabot doesn't support Yarn v2 yet:
# https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/1297
#
# Note: We use the `pull_request_target` event due to GitHub security measures.
# It is important to ensure we don't execute any untrusted PR code in this context.
# See: https://github.blog/changelog/2021-02-19-github-actions-workflows-triggered-by-dependabot-prs-will-run-with-read-only-permissions/
# https://securitylab.github.com/research/github-actions-preventing-pwn-requests

# IMPORTANT: setting YARN_ENABLE_SCRIPTS=false is critical to ensure that untrusted
# PRs can't add an npm package and then use that to execute untrusted code in
# a trusted context. See links at the top of this workflow for further details.

Any explainations why pull_request_target instead of pull_request?
Does this would fit?

  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened
    branches:
      - 'dependabot/**'

That is required to work around GitHub not allowing third party PRs write access to the repo (and they treat dependabot as third party)
