Renovate
Renovate Bot is an automated tool designed to keep software dependencies up to date within a project. It works by scanning your project files for dependencies, then it checks for newer versions of those dependencies. When it finds updates, Renovate Bot can automatically generate pull requests with the necessary changes for updating to the newer versions. This helps to maintain your project with the latest, most secure versions of libraries and packages, thereby reducing potential security risks and improving overall code quality.
The bot is extremely configurable, allowing you to set schedules for when updates should be checked, limit the number of open pull requests, group dependencies for multi-package updates, and much more.
This template provides
a renovate.json
configuration file with some sensible defaults to get you started.
It uses the base configuration provided by Renovate Bot, inheriting a set of default settings aimed at providing an optimal balance between stability and staying up-to-date. No additional or custom configurations are specified, making it a minimal setup. It also validates the configuration against the official Renovate schema.
For more information on how to configure Renovate Bot, see the Renovate Docs.
