Dependabot has recently been integrated into GitHub itself proper.

This pull-request removes the old Dependabot-preview configuration, and places the new Dependabot configuration into the .github folder.

Merging this pull-request closes #1356

Benefits:

  • No need to have Dependabot-preview installed as repo administrator
  • No need to use a third party site anymore for configuration.
  • All configuration is now done via the configuration file, so everybody can see what the settings are.

Drawbacks:

  • Update schedule is no longer truly live (Best update frequency is now once a day on Mondays trough Fridays).
  • All configuration is now done via the configuration file, so everybody can see what the settings are.

Steps to take after merging:
@ben you can remove the Dependabot-preview app from your GitHub account after merging this pull-request, unless you're also using Dependabot-preview on other private/public repositories.
You can find your installed GitHub apps when you're logged in, and go to: https://github.com/settings/installations
