AI / Dependabot Interview questions
How do you enable Dependabot on a GitHub repository?
Enabling Dependabot has two largely independent paths depending on which feature you want: security updates/alerts are typically toggled directly in the repository's settings, while version updates require adding a configuration file to the repository.
# Settings -> Code security and analysis -> enable: # - Dependency graph # - Dependabot alerts # - Dependabot security updates # For version updates, add to the repo: # .github/dependabot.yml
GitHub also offers a guided setup: clicking "Insights" → "Dependency graph" → "Dependabot" tab on
a repository, or using the "Enable Dependabot" prompt that appears if GitHub detects the repository has no
configuration yet, which can generate a starter dependabot.yml automatically based on the
ecosystems it detects in the repo.
