## The Renovate Approach
2017-10-06 09:58:24 +00:00
2018-08-24 11:34:26 +00:00
- We believe everyone can benefit from automation, whether it's a little or a lot
- Renovate should not cause you to change your workflow against your wishes, instead it should be adaptable to your existing workflow
- All behaviour should be configurable, down to a ridiculous level if necessary
2018-05-28 07:26:22 +00:00
- Autodetect settings wherever possible (to minimise configuration) but always allow overrides

- Install the `renovate` CLI tool from npmjs
- Run the `renovate/renovate` Docker Hub image (same content/versions as the CLI tool)
- Use [Renovate Pro Edition ](https://renovatebot.com/pro ) available for GitHub Enterprise and soon GitLab too
