Comprehensive guide for configuring and managing GitHub Dependabot. Use this skill when users ask about creating or optimizing dependabot.yml files, managing Dependabot pull requests, configuring dependency update strategies, setting up grouped updates, monorepo patterns, multi-ecosystem groups, security update configuration, auto-triage rules, or any GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) supply chain security topic related to Dependabot. For pre-commit dependency vulnerability scanning in AI coding…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Dependabot Configuration & Management ## Overview Dependabot is GitHub's built-in dependency management tool with three core capabilities: 1. **Dependabot Alerts** — Notify when dependencies have known vulnerabilities (CVEs) 2. **Dependabot Security Updates** — Auto-create PRs to fix vulnerable dependencies 3. **Dependabot Version Updates** — Auto-create PRs to keep dependencies current All configuration lives in a **single file**: `.github/dependabot.yml` on the default branch. GitHub does **not** support multiple `dependabot.yml` files per repository. ## Configuration Workflow Follow this process when creating or optimizing a `dependabot.yml`: ### Step 1: Detect All Ecosystems Scan the repository for dependency manifests. Look for: | Ecosystem | YAML Value | Manifest Files | |---|---|---| | npm/pnpm/yarn | `npm` | `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `yarn.lock` | | pip/pipenv/poetry | `pip` | `requirements.txt`, `Pipfile`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py` | | uv | `uv` | `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock` | | Docker | `docker` | `Dockerfile` | | Docker Compose | `docker-compose` | `docker-compose.yml` | …

How to install
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-plugins/dependabot@sha256:612aad2fd921c1a6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.b697892, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
