Go minor/patch dependencies will now be grouped, using the new Dependabot grouping feature: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-08-17-grouped-version-updates-by-semantic-version-level-for-dependabot/ Major updates, as well as security updates will still be opened as separate PRs. I've not grouped GitHub Actions update PRs, since the volume is typically much lower for those. The custom open pull requests limit has been removed, since it is no longer necessary, as there won't be as many open PRs. In addition, the schedule has been changed from daily to weekly. This reduces project maintenance toil (no more having to manually create combined update PRs), plus makes it less painful for contributors to subscribe to repository notifications (currently there is a lot of noise from Dependabot PRs being opened/auto-rebased etc).

No problem! This is an example of how the group PRs look (they still include changelogs for each package etc, plus commands like I meant to also say in the PR description, that we could also switch to For Heroku's repos we tend to use monthly, and on the occasion when we need an update sooner (eg just about to create a new release), we trigger Dependabot manually (which can be done via repo "Insights" -> "Dependency graph" -> Dependabot tab -> "Recent update jobs" -> "Check for updates"). |
