Automate pull-request approval for Dependabot
- 12 July 2024
Dependabot is a service that automatically updates your project dependencies by creating pull requests. It is a great tool to keep your project up-to-date with the latest security patches and bug fixes. However, managing these pull requests can be time-consuming, especially if you have many dependencies. As a result, many teams end up ignoring Dependabot pull requests, which can lead to security vulnerabilities and other issues.
The example configuration below shows that Dependabot will automatically update the Docker base image and GitHub Actions. It ignores major version updates for Amazon Linux, Fedora, Oracle Linux, and Rocky Linux reducing the noise in the pull requests.
