How to clear Dependabot alerts #73346

Dependabot checks your code for outdated or insecure libraries. If it finds any, it sends you an alert and may also create a "fix" for you in the form of a pull request. You review the pull request, make sure it doesn't break anything, and then merge it into your code. Once the pull request is merged, Dependabot notices that the problem is fixed and the alert goes away by itself. You don't need to manually clear the alerts if Dependabot's automated fix is merged. If you fix the issue yourself in another way, the alert should also clear on its own once you've pushed the changes. You can also close it manually when you go to the Security tab in your repository. |

Body
Once the defect in the code has been resolved, will Dependabot automatically clear the alert, or is this something that needs to be done manually by the coder?
