Dependabot Update Script Dependabot Status

This repo contains two scripts that demonstrates Dependabot Core. It is intended to give you a feel for how Dependabot Core works so that you can use it in your own project.

If you're looking for a hosted, feature-rich dependency updater then you probably want Dependabot itself.

Setup and usage

Interactive

  • bundle install
  • Many languages require native helpers to be installed. First, export an environment variable that points to the directory into which the helpers should be installed: export DEPENDABOT_NATIVE_HELPERS_PATH="$(pwd)/native-helpers"
  • Optional step for some langauges (for other languages no setup is needed):
    • JS: cd "$(bundle show dependabot-npm_and_yarn)" && helpers/build "$DEPENDABOT_NATIVE_HELPERS_PATH/npm_and_yarn" && cd -
    • Python: cd "$(bundle show dependabot-python)" && helpers/build "$DEPENDABOT_NATIVE_HELPERS_PATH/python" && cd -
    • PHP: cd "$(bundle show dependabot-composer)" && helpers/build "$DEPENDABOT_NATIVE_HELPERS_PATH/composer" && cd -
    • Elixir: cd "$(bundle show dependabot-hex)" && helpers/build "$DEPENDABOT_NATIVE_HELPERS_PATH/hex" && cd -
    • Terraform: cd "$(bundle show dependabot-terraform)" && helpers/build "$DEPENDABOT_NATIVE_HELPERS_PATH/terraform" && cd -
  • bundle exec irb
  • Edit the variables at the top of the script you're using, or set the corresponding environment variables.
  • Copy and paste the script into the Ruby session to see how Dependabot works.
