# Dependabot Configuration & Management ## Overview Dependabot is GitHub's built-in dependency management tool with three core capabilities: 1. **Dependabot Alerts** — Notify when dependencies have known vulnerabilities (CVEs) 2. **Dependabot Security Updates** — Auto-create PRs to fix vulnerable dependencies 3. **Dependabot Version Updates** — Auto-create PRs to keep dependencies current All configuration lives in a **single file**: `.github/dependabot.yml` on the default branch. GitHub does **not** support multiple `dependabot.yml` files per repository. ## Configuration Workflow Follow this process when creating or optimizing a `dependabot.yml`: ### Step 1: Detect All Ecosystems Scan the repository for dependency manifests. Look for: | Ecosystem | YAML Value | Manifest Files | |---|---|---| | npm/pnpm/yarn | `npm` | `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `yarn.lock` | | pip/pipenv/poetry/uv | `pip` | `requirements.txt`, `Pipfile`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py` | | Docker | `docker` | `Dockerfile` | | Docker Compose | `docker-compose` | `docker-compose.yml` | | GitHub Actions | `github-actions` | `.github/workflows/*.yml` | | Go modules | `gomod` | `go.mod` | | Bundler (Ruby) | `bundler` | `Gemfile` | | Cargo (Rust) | `cargo` | `Cargo.toml` | | Composer (PHP) | `composer` | `composer.json` | | NuGet (.NET) | `nuget` | `*.csproj`, `packages.config` | | .NET SDK | `dotnet-sdk` | `global.json` | | Maven (Java) | `maven` | `pom.xml` | | Gradle (Java) | `g
