Configuration Summary

Based on the default config's presets, Renovate will:

  • Start dependency updates only once this onboarding MR is merged
  • Separate major versions of dependencies into individual branches/MRs
  • Do not separate patch and minor upgrades into separate MRs for the same dependency
  • Upgrade to unstable versions only if the existing version is unstable
  • Raise MRs immediately (after branch is created)
  • If semantic commits detected, use semantic commit type fix for dependencies and chore for all others
  • Keep existing branches updated even when not scheduled
  • Disable automerging feature - wait for humans to merge all MRs
  • Ignore node_modules, bower_components, vendor and various test/tests directories
  • Update existing lock files only when package.json is modified
  • Autodetect whether to pin dependencies or maintain ranges
  • Rate limit MR creation to a maximum of two per hour
  • Limit to maximum 20 open MRs at any time
  • Group known monorepo packages together
  • Use curated list of recommended non-monorepo package groupings
