Pull request overview
This PR introduces a new documentation pattern called "CentralRepoOps" that describes how to orchestrate and roll out changes across multiple repositories from a single private control repository. This is a specialized deployment variant of MultiRepoOps focusing on centralized governance and large-scale operations.
Changes:
- Adds comprehensive documentation for the CentralRepoOps pattern including use cases, benefits, and implementation details
- Provides a practical Dependabot rollout example demonstrating the orchestrator/worker pattern
- Documents authentication requirements and best practices for multi-repository operations

- The description "that will run in each target repository" is misleading. According to the safe-outputs documentation,
dispatch-workflowonly works within the same repository (same-repo only). This means the worker workflow must be created in the central repository alongside the orchestrator, not in each target repository. The worker then uses the checkout action andtarget-repoparameters in safe-outputs to operate on target repositories. Consider changing this to: "Next, create the worker workflow.github/workflows/dependabot-rollout.mdin the same central repository:"
Next, create the worker workflow `.github/workflows/dependabot-rollout.md` that will run in each target repository:
