Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Why I recommend Renovate over any other dependency update tools
Oh yes, https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/3253. I wouldn't go so far as saying it was locked because it was too uncivil, mostly just because "additional commentary wasn't adding value" ;)
Your read on the situation is spot on, and no, it doesn't look like it's been "fixed" (mostly because "fixing it would re-introduce the same potential vulnerability).

Storybook 8
Storybook is great and all, but these days nearly every Dependabot alert I get is about a sub-dependency of Storybook. Since Dependabot doesn't currently allow you to ignore dev dependencies and only check production dependencies [0], this makes Storybook a Big Noise Generator and every time I dismiss another alert from it, I can't help but wonder if there's a better option out there.

Keeping dependencies in your GitHub projects up-to-date with Dependabot
P.S. While this being a powerful and handy tool itself, it is only a part of Dependabot’s capabilities. If you are interested, you’ll find more about them in the GitHub docs.

How to Manage Helm Chart Dependency Versions?
Hello! I'm using Helm in K8s and curious if there is a solution that could keep tabs on the deployed chart dependency versions and either alert us when something is out of date or when a new release is available. Does this exist? I was thinking something like Dependabot or Renovate, but neither seems to be able to manage this.

Introducing Bld: A New Pure Java Build System
An important point is that this kind of metadata often needs to be accessible from outside the build system itself. You need that for example in order to integration with renovate-bot or github's dependabot, to check your dependencies against CVEs, to build SBOMs and various other additional tasks that are not part of the build itself, but related to the build's metadata. This is all functionality I don't want to reimplement, I want to use what's already out there. And for that the build system needs to have some minimum amount of compatibility with existing standard metadata files like pom.xml or build.gradle

OpenAI, MinIO, And Why You Should Always Use docker-cli-scan To Keep Your Supply chAIn Clean
To avoid any potential data breaches, it is recommended that users upgrade to a patched version of MinIO (RELEASE.2023-03-20T20-16-18Z) and integrate security tooling such as docker-cli-scan or use Github’s built-in monitoring for supply chain vulnerabilities, which already contains a record referencing this vulnerability.

OCI Helm chat repo with common apps
I recognize that it does not handle chart updates, but it's might still ease the burden of applying minor releases easily etc. For the chart versions themselves, unfortunately dependabot does not support this and will not, but something like renovatebot does. Could be worth looking into as a dual approach

Private profiles are now generally available on GitHub
Disclosure: Renovate author
Renovate is indeed AGPL, but if you're just running it as a CLI, do you think there's anything to "watch out for"? It does not make any project you run it against AGPL, that's for sure.
Also you should be aware that dependabot-core, which dependabot-gitlab wraps, is not technically Open Source at all: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/main/LICE...

We use Dependabot to secure GitHub

How use Renovate Bot on self-hosted GitLab
There is no built-in Renovate Bot on a self-hosted GitLab. What can we do to set it up and enjoy all the benefits of automatic dependency updates?
-
Self-Hosted Is Awesome
> Yes, it is awesome until you have to sysadmin it, apply updates, patch it, fix security holes, etc. I am not saying all self-hosted solutions are like that. There are exceptions. However, the majority of open-source self-hosted solutions require a lot of extra work.
I'm currently self-hosting 10 different applications on my local server, which represents everything I've ever seen that looked fun or useful to me. Every one of them had a Docker image with an example compose file, which means updating them just requires periodically running Renovate [0] on the repo that stores all my compose files and then running a script that docker compose pulls the updates. It takes maybe 10 minutes every other week, and is actually kinda fun.
It helps that all the apps are only accessible from within my VPN, so I'm not too worried about fixing security updates within a tiny time window.

Locally test and validate your Renovate configuration files
Renovate is an automated dependency management tool that can be used to keep your dependencies up-to-date. It can be configured to automatically create pull requests to update your dependencies, and it supports a wide range of package managers and platforms.

Understanding Mend Renovate's Pull Request Workflow
To get started with Mend Renovate, the comprehensive official documentation provides detailed instructions on installation, configuration, and best practices. Additionally, the Mend Renovate community forum offers a platform for users to connect, share experiences, and access the collective knowledge base.

Unfork with ArgoCD
It is a good practice to keep software up to date. To track changes in upstream software, we can utilize automatic dependency tracking systems such as Dependabot or Renovate. This is a broad topic and requires a separate article to be covered. If you would like to read about it, please vote in the comments section below.

Evaluating New Software Forges
So do other forges: I have Renovate [0] set up on my self-hosted Forgejo and it's worked great so far.

Long Term Ownership of an Event-Driven System
You can ease some of the burden for yourself though using tooling. If you are using GitHub, dependabot can be configured to make automatic PRs to your repo whenever there are dependencies to update. If you're not a GitHub user, you can use renovate which even supports self hosting.
