Pix Renovate Config

Why ?

To help developers maintain dependencies up-to-date, we use Renovate with a shared configuration.

Here are the available presets:

default:
- runs hourly every weekday;
- wait 7 days after a version is published on npm to select it;
- create at most 5 pull request per week;
- approves its own PR using Github App Renovate Approve;
- adds label ":rocket: Ready to Merge" to the PR if update type is a minor or a patch;
- Jean Pierre rebases and merges the PR if required status checks are ok (ex: Actions, CircleCi, Deploy ...).
no-auto:
- runs hourly every weekday;
- wait 7 days after a version is published on npm to select it;
- create at most 5 pull request per week;
- do not merge.
auto-patch:
- runs hourly every weekday;
- wait 7 days after a version is published on npm to select it;
- create at most 5 pull request per week;
- approves its own PR using Github App Renovate Approve;
- adds label ":rocket: Ready to Merge" to the PR if update type is a patch;
- Jean Pierre rebases and merges the PR if required status checks are ok (ex: Actions, CircleCi, Deploy ...).
aggressive:
- runs hourly every weekday;
- wait 7 days after a version is published on npm to select it;
- create as many pull request as necessary;
- approves its own PR using Github App Renovate Approve;
- adds label ":rocket: Ready to Merge" to the PR;
- Jean Pierre rebases and merges the PR if required status checks are ok (ex: Actions, CircleCi, Deploy ...).

auto-minor is a deprecated config and should be replaced by the default config.

Create a renovate.json file under .github folder.

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": ["github>1024pix/renovate-config:<PRESET>"],
  "enabled": true
}

Substitute your preset, eg. github>1024pix/renovate-config:default.

Ask a Github organization administrator to activate the application Renovate on the repository.

Automerge functionnality also requires the application Renovate Approve to be enabled on the repository.

Check the execution logs to make sure it starts for the first time, even if it does not detect any outdated dependency. Eg. for pix-bot repository https://app.renovatebot.com/dashboard#github/1024pix/pix-bot

If the project is a fork, you need to add the following configuration in the renovate.json file : "includeForks": true

Issues are disabled by default on forked projects, Dependency dashboard needs Github Issues to appear.
