Summary

This pull request introduces a dependabot.yaml configuration file to the repository, enabling automated dependency monitoring and updates through GitHub's Dependabot.


Purpose

By configuring Dependabot, we aim to:

  • Automate the detection and resolution of outdated or vulnerable dependencies
  • Minimize manual maintenance overhead
  • Ensure consistent use of the latest, most secure versions of packages across supported ecosystems

This enhancement contributes to better security posture and maintainability of the codebase.


What is Dependabot?

Dependabot is a GitHub-native tool that automatically checks for:

  • Outdated dependencies
  • Security vulnerabilities in third-party libraries

It generates automated pull requests to keep your dependencies up to date. Dependabot supports a wide range of package managers and seamlessly integrates with your existing GitHub workflows.


Configuration Guide

Details on how to configure and customize dependabot.yaml can be seen here.
