AI / Dependabot Interview questions
What is Dependabot version updates?
Version updates is the Dependabot feature that regularly checks a repository's dependencies against their
latest available versions (regardless of whether a security issue exists) and opens pull requests to bump
them — configured explicitly via a dependabot.yml file specifying which ecosystems to check
and how often.
version: 2 updates: - package-ecosystem: "pip" directory: "/" schedule: interval: "daily"
Unlike security updates (which are largely automatic once Dependabot alerts are enabled), version updates require this opt-in configuration file, since a team might reasonably want routine version updates on some repositories but not others, or want control over how frequently these update PRs are generated rather than having them appear unpredictably.
