chore: move example workflows

[2bndy5]

follow up to #303

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Updated example GitHub Actions references to point to the new workflows location, ensuring all example links and snippets use the correct paths.

• Chores

  • Refined Dependabot configuration to monitor the repository root only, reducing unnecessary checks and streamlining dependency update notifications.

Walkthrough

Dependabot configuration was narrowed to scan only the repository root for GitHub Actions updates. Documentation examples were updated to reference workflow YAML files moved under .github/workflows/examples instead of docs/examples.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Dependabot configuration .github/dependabot.yml	Replaced actions update path from a directories list ("/", "docs/examples") to a single directory: "/". Other settings unchanged.
Docs examples references docs/examples/index.md	Updated three code block paths to point to .github/workflows/examples/*.yml instead of docs/examples/*.yml.

9-15: If recursion is not guaranteed, add a second updater for the examples path

If Dependabot doesn’t recurse into subfolders, add a dedicated github-actions updater to keep example workflow references current.

Apply this diff:

 updates:
   - package-ecosystem: github-actions
     directory: "/"
     schedule:
       interval: "weekly"
     groups:
       actions:
         patterns:
           - "*"
+  - package-ecosystem: github-actions
+    directory: "/.github/workflows/examples"
+    schedule:
+      interval: "weekly"
+    groups:
+      actions:
+        patterns:
+          - "*"
   - package-ecosystem: pip
     directory: /
     schedule:
       interval: "daily"
     groups:
       pip:
         patterns:
           - "*"

9-15: Add Dependabot entry for example workflows

Dependabot’s GitHub Actions scanner doesn’t recurse into subfolders of .github/workflows; workflows under .github/workflows/examples won’t be picked up by your existing
directory: "/" entry. To ensure those example workflows get their action pins updated:

• In .github/dependabot.yml (around lines 9–15), add a second update block:

- package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
  directory: "/.github/workflows/examples"
  schedule:
    interval: "weekly"

• Or, if your org has the Dependabot multi-directory beta enabled, consolidate both paths:

- package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
  directories:
    - "/"
    - "/.github/workflows/examples"
  schedule:
    interval: "weekly"

This change will ensure Dependabot scans and updates your nested example workflows.

.github/dependabot.yml (1)

16-23: Optional: Keep YAML quoting consistent

Minor consistency nit: directory is quoted for github-actions but unquoted for pip. YAML doesn’t require quotes here, but aligning styles improves readability.

-  - package-ecosystem: pip
-    directory: /
+  - package-ecosystem: pip
+    directory: "/"

Learning: For Dependabot's github-actions ecosystem, multiple directories in the directories list are supported. When directory is "/", Dependabot scans both .github/workflows/ and root action.yml/action.yaml files. Other directory entries are treated as workflow directories and scanned for .yml/.yaml files.

13-14: Docs updates align with the file relocation

The includes reflect the new examples location and keep the docs DRY by embedding the actual workflow files. Assuming path resolution is correct, this looks good.
