AI / Dependabot Interview questions
How do you close or dismiss a Dependabot pull request?
A Dependabot pull request can simply be closed like any other PR — via the "Close pull request"
button in the GitHub UI, or by commenting @dependabot close directly on the PR, which Dependabot
recognizes as a command.
@dependabot close @dependabot ignore this dependency @dependabot ignore this major version @dependabot ignore this minor version
Dependabot supports several chat-style commands posted as PR comments beyond just closing — you can
ask it to ignore that specific dependency going forward (adding it to the effective ignore list without
manually editing dependabot.yml), or ignore just that major or minor version specifically, giving
maintainers a lightweight way to manage individual update decisions directly from the pull request itself
rather than always needing to edit the configuration file.
