## Why Use Renovate?

- Receive automated Pull Requests whenever dependencies need updating. Or whenever you schedule it for.
- Renovate discovers and processes all dependency files in a repository (e.g. supports
  monorepo architecture such as lerna or yarn workspaces)
- Extremely customisable behaviour via configuration files or within your `package.json`
- Use eslint-like shared config presets for ease of use and simplifying configuration
- Update lock files natively in the same commit, including immediately resolving conflicts whenever PRs are merged
- Supports GitHub, GitLab (APIv4) and VSTS. BitBucket is a WIP.
- Open source (installable via npm/yarn) so can be self-hosted or used for free via GitHub App

## The Renovate Approach

- 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 - don't enforce opinions on users
- All behaviour should be configurable, down to a ridiculous level if desired
- Autodetect settings wherever possible (to minimise configuration) but always allow overrides
