  🤖 Dependabot's core logic for creating update PR's.

  

Dependabot is a free service provided by GitHub to update your dependencies automatically. It takes the burden away of checking your packages for available updates on a regular basis. Dependabot does this by scanning your repository and creating automated pull requests if something can be upgraded. It is important to review these pull requests and check if any breaking changes are introduced with the version upgrades. You can mitigate the risks of upgrading your dependencies by always running a GitHub Actions pipeline for a pull request. If the tests and build are successful, there is a very small chance that the security update that Dependabot created a pull request for will introduce any problems. In these cases, you can even decide to always put these Dependabot PRs to auto-merge if the build is successful.

The only requirement for using Dependabot is to host your codebase in GitHub. If your code repository is hosted elsewhere like Azure DevOps or GitLab, you will have to look for similar implementations for those platforms. For this article, we’re going to be using a TypeScript project with npm as a package manager. You can use this GitHub repository to get started.
