Usage

Renovate Configuration

renovate.json

Application (api, webapp, static website generator, etc):

For a library repository (where dependencies should be unpinned), use this configuration:

{
  "extends": ["github>w5s/renovate-config:application"]
}

Legacy application (unmaintained or untested):

For an unmaintained or untested repository include this configuration (will disable automerge and limit maximum PR):

{
  "extends": ["github>w5s/renovate-config:application"]
}

Later, when the PR amount is lower and the application you can switch to application.json

Library:

For a library repository (where dependencies should be unpinned), use this configuration:

{
  "extends": ["github>w5s/renovate-config:library"]
}

Read the documentation to improve your configuration.
