What is your question?

Our shared configuration lives in a private repository on Github. The package.json includes renovate-config object with the key default and a file called default.json that includes the same contents as package.json>renovate-config>default. How can I fix this please?

You need to make sure Renovate has access to that repo. It’s ok to decline the onboarding pull request to disable renovating it, but it must have access in order to read the files

@rarkins Hey, thanks for the prompt response! How can I verify if Renovate has access to the repository?

[rarkins]

Have the org admin go to GitHub.com/apps/renovate and check which repos it’s installed into (scroll to bottom IIRC)

Thanks a lot @rarkins!
