Automated dependency updates to keep your projects secure and up-to-date.
Renovate is a configuration-as-code tool designed to automate dependency updates across software projects. It continuously monitors project dependencies, including direct, indirect, and transitive dependencies, identifying outdated versions and security vulnerabilities. Using pre-defined or customized configuration rules, Renovate automatically generates pull requests with the necessary changes, including version updates and security patches. The architecture focuses on Git-based workflows, integrating seamlessly with popular platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. It supports numerous package managers and languages, providing comprehensive coverage for diverse technology stacks. The value proposition lies in reducing the manual effort associated with dependency management, improving security posture, and ensuring projects stay current with the latest releases and security fixes. Its use cases range from small open-source projects to large enterprise applications, promoting consistent and automated updates across the software development lifecycle. Renovate helps teams reduce technical debt, mitigate security risks, and improve overall software quality.
