gh-pr-approve-and-auto-merge (GitHub CLI extension)

gh-pr-approve-and-auto-merge approves and auto-merges dependency bump pull requests. It verifies that each PR represents a version bump and that required checks are passing before approving and merging through the GitHub CLI.

• bats to run the test suite.
