What is Dependabot?

Dependabot is a powerful tool that automates the process of keeping your software dependencies up-to-date and secure across a wide range of programming languages, including Ruby, Python, JavaScript, PHP, .NET, Go, Elixir, Rust, Java, and Elm. By continuously monitoring your dependency files, Dependabot generates pull requests to update your dependencies to their latest versions, ensuring that your application benefits from the latest bug fixes, security patches, and performance improvements. This streamlined approach eliminates the manual effort typically required to stay on top of dependency updates, allowing developers to focus on building new features and improving the overall quality of their software
