How are you running Renovate?

Mend Renovate hosted app on github.com

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Hi,
I'm using Renovate Bot in a mono-repository (NX). As a package manager, I'm using pnpm. The other thing is that I also use different PRs for major and non-major updates. Everything works perfectly well.

To make modules inside the mono-repo more independent, I wanted to create separated PRs for each package in the repo, instead of creating a single PR for the whole mono-repo. I am confused about how to make it properly, so I would appreciate your assistance.

My main config (not for mono-repos):

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "config:base",
    "group:monorepos",
    "group:recommended",
    ":prHourlyLimitNone",
    ":prConcurrentLimitNone",
    ":renovatePrefix"
  ],
  "osvVulnerabilityAlerts": true,
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "groupName": "Non-major version updates",
      "groupSlug": "non-major-updates",
      "matchUpdateTypes": [
        "minor",
        "patch",
        "pin",
        "digest",
        "lockFileMaintenance"
      ],
      "stabilityDays": 7
    },
    {
      "groupName": "Major version updates",
      "groupSlug": "major-updates",
      "matchUpdateTypes": ["major"],
      "stabilityDays": 30
    },
  ],
  "vulnerabilityAlerts": {
    "enabled": true,
    "dependencyDashboardApproval": false,
    "rangeStrategy": "auto",
    "prCreation": "immediate",
  },
  "lockFileMaintenance": {
    "enabled": true
  }
}

My extended config (for mono-repos) how I see it, but not sure if that's the right way to do:

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": ["PATH_TO_THE_MAIN_CONFIG"],
  "packageRules": [
     {
         "paths": ["apps/app1/**"],
         "groupName": "Non-major version updates",
         "groupSlug": "non-major-updates",
         "matchUpdateTypes": [
           "minor",
          "patch",
          "pin",
          "digest",
          "lockFileMaintenance"
        ],
        "stabilityDays": 7
     },
    {
         "paths": ["apps/app1/**"],
         "groupName": "Major version updates",
         "groupSlug": "major-updates",
         "matchUpdateTypes": ["major"],
         "stabilityDays": 30
     },

     etc...
  ],
}
