Renovate: Keep using semver for package versions.

Testing renovate before merging

renovate can be run locally

Install it as a global package/command

$ npm i -g renovate

The issue is that renovate reads the config from the repository itself and it always uses default branch (develop for webapp). AFAIK there isn't away to point it to a different branch.

Pointing renovate to your fork

git remote add myfork <url of your fork>
git push renovate-range-strategy myfork

Go to your fork's repository settings (<myfork url>/-/settings/repository) and set renovate-range-strategy as default branch.

Add "renovateFork": true, to your renovate.json and push it on top of myfork/renovate-range-strategy branch.

Create a token for your user and give it these scopes api, read_user, read_repository.

Now you can run renovate

renovate --platform gitlab --dry-run true --print-config true --token "<token>" viktomas/webapp
