[sfmskywalker]

We need to integrate the Renovate bot into our CI/CD pipeline to automate dependency updates.

Tasks

1. Install and configure the Renovate bot from GitHub Apps.
2. Set up the configuration file (renovate.json) with necessary settings for our project.
3. Ensure the Renovate bot runs on a schedule suitable for our workflow.
4. Test the configuration to verify that dependency updates are created as expected.

Acceptance Criteria

• Renovate bot is successfully installed and configured.
• Configuration file (renovate.json) is properly set up and committed to the repository.
• Renovate bot runs on the defined schedule and creates pull requests for dependency updates.
• Documentation is updated with instructions on how to manage and configure the Renovate bot if necessary.

To integrate the Renovate bot into your CI/CD pipeline, you can follow these general steps:

1. Install Renovate Bot:

   • Go to the Renovate bot page on GitHub Apps and click the "Install" button.
   • Choose the repositories where you want to enable Renovate, or select "All repositories" if you want to apply it to every repository in your account or organization.

2. Set Up Configuration File (renovate.json):

   • Create a renovate.json file in the root of your repository with the necessary configuration settings for your project. Here's an example of a basic configuration:

     {
       "extends": ["config:base"],
       "schedule": ["every weekend"],
       "dependencyDashboard": true
     }

   • Commit and push the renovate.json file to your repository.

3. Schedule Renovate Bot:

   • Within the renovate.json file, you can define a schedule for when the bot should run using the schedule field. The example above is set to run every weekend. You can customize this to fit your workflow.

4. Test Configuration:

   • After setting up Renovate, it will start scanning your repository based on the schedule you've set. You can also trigger it manually to test the configuration.
   • Check for any Pull Requests or issues created by Renovate in your repository, which would indicate that it's running as expected.

5. Update Documentation:

   • Document the process of managing and configuring the Renovate bot within your project's documentation. Include information about the renovate.json file and how to update the bot's settings.

6. Monitor Pull Requests:

   • Once Renovate is active, monitor the Pull Requests it creates for dependency updates. Review and merge them as appropriate for your project.

Please note that the specific configuration options for Renovate can vary depending on your project's needs. You may need to customize the renovate.json file further to suit your requirements.

If you need further assistance or have specific questions about the configuration, please let me know!
