Description

On NodeJS, we want to pin the version for packages that we run with `npx` inside Github Actions (https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50517), but I didn't find in the docs if this kind of dependency is automatically updated.

Is this kind of dependency supported to be updated by Dependabot?
