Description
Based on https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/configuration-options-for-the-dependabot.yml-file, we can enable the following:
commit-message.prefix
set to some branch created for general Jira item for dependabot updates. This will be helpful also for audit purposes, as Jira will link all such PRs automaticallygroups
: make one PR for version updates and another PR for github actions update. We can then change the interval to Daily for version updates (leave Weekly for actions updates), as there will be only one PR raised so costs from CI will be similar to 5 PRs raised per week. Each day, the following will be done:There’s a small issue now, since we disabled automatic dependabot PR rebases: dependabot PRs get outdated quickly, so what I need to do as the dev person assigned to those PRs is to run
@dependabot rebase
, which takes time to re-run pipelines. We can’t enable automatic rebases as there would be too much noise (e.g. dependabot rebases PRs every time merge to main happens), having Daily Refresh would help here.pull-request-branch-name.separator
to-
(now it’s default/
) - this is to unify approach as developers usually doschedule.time
