A Github Action to bump your cabal dependencies

The haskell-bounds-bump-action now has an option to not run cabal build && cabal test before creating the PR, so it can be used in two modes:

  • Test before opening PRs (easy, not customizable)
  • Always open PR, test using regular CI (a bit more work to set up, but better™ in a few ways).

The README explains the differences a bit.

I wonder if I should change this from a reusabe action to a reusable workflow. Not sure if it makes a big difference; I guess the log output would be a bit prettier, showing each step separately.
