This feature adds a new behaviour to Renovate, where it will now add a comment to any existing closed PRs that are "blocking" currently valid updates. A new API function "ensureComment" has been added, its purpose is so we can ensure there exists only one comment with a certain subject/heading. This lets us prevent duplicates as well as update existing, without having to keep state about it. ensureComment needs porting to gitlab, but should be quite easy. |

renovate
Keep dependencies up-to-date.
Why
- Creates or updates Pull Requests for each dependency that needs updating
- Discovers and processes all
package.jsonfiles in repository (supports monorepo architecture including yarn workspaces) - Supports multiple major versions per-dependency at once
- Configurable via file, environment, CLI, and
package.json - Supports eslint-like preset configs for ease of use
- Updates
yarn.lockandpackage-lock.jsonfiles natively - Supports GitHub and GitLab
- Open source and can be self-hosted or used via GitHub App
Configuration Help
If you would like help on your Renovate configuration, or simply get someone to review it, we have created a config-help repository https://github.com/renovateapp/config-help/issues where you can post an issue with your config.
GitHub App
Renovate is now available as a free GitHub "App". Go to https://github.com/apps/renovate to enable it now.
Install
$ npm install -g renovate
Authentication
You need to select a repository user for renovate to assume the identity of, and generate a Personal Access Token. It's strongly recommended that you use a dedicated "bot" account for this to avoid user confusion and to avoid the Renovate bot mistaking changes you have made or PRs you have raised for its own.
You can find instructions for GitHub here (select "repo" permissions)
You can find instructions for GitLab here.
This token needs to be configured via file, environment variable, or CLI. See docs/configuration.md for details.
The simplest way is to expose it as GITHUB_TOKEN or GITLAB_TOKEN.
Usage
Run renovate --help for usage details.
Note: The first time you run renovate on a repository, it will not upgrade any dependencies. Instead, it will create a Pull Request (Merge Request if GitLab) called 'Configure Renovate' and commit a default renovate.json file to the repository. This PR can be close unmerged if the default settings are fine for you. Also, this behaviour can be disabled if you set the onboarding configuration option to false before running.
Deployment
See deployment docs for details.
Configuration
The Configuration and Configuration FAQ documents should be helpful.
You can also raise an issue in https://github.com/renovateapp/config-help if you'd like to get your config reviewed or ask any questions.
