Fixes: N/A
What was the problem/requirement? (What/Why)
We get a lot of Dependabot PRs for minor and patch version bumps. Each one has to be reviewed and rebase-merged individually, which is a lot of churn.
What was the solution? (How)
Use Dependabot groups in
.github/dependabot.ymlto combine all minor and patch updates into a single PR per ecosystem (pipandgithub-actions). Major version bumps do not match the group and continue to get individual PRs. See also Example 3: Individual pull requests for major updates and grouped for minor/patch updates.This mirrors OpenJobDescription/openjd-rs#273; the resulting effect can be seen in OpenJobDescription/openjd-rs#275.
What is the impact of this change?
Fewer Dependabot PRs and a better update experience.
How was this change tested?
Config-only change to
.github/dependabot.yml, validated as well-formed YAML. The same approach is already in effect in openjd-rs (OpenJobDescription/openjd-rs#275).See DEVELOPMENT.md for information on running tests.
Was this change documented?
N/A (config-only change).
Is this a breaking change?
No.
Does this change impact security?
No.
