# renovate
|
|
|
|
Keep npm dependencies up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
[](https://codecov.io/gh/singapore/renovate)
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
- Creates or updates Pull Requests for each dependency that needs updating
|
|
- Discovers and processes all `package.json` files in repository (supports monorepo architecture)
|
|
- Supports multiple major versions per-dependency at once
|
|
- Configurable via file, environment, CLI, and `package.json`
|
|
- Supports `yarn.lock` and `package-lock.json` files
|
|
- Supports GitHub and GitLab
|
|
- Open source and can be self-hosted
|
|
|
|
## GitHub App
|
|
|
|
Renovate is now available as a free GitHub "App". Go to [https://github.com/apps/renovate](https://github.com/apps/renovate) to enable it now.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install -g renovate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
You need to select a repository user for `renovate` to assume the identity of, and generate a Personal Access Token. It's recommended that you use a dedicated "bot" account for this to avoid user confusion.
|
|
|
|
You can find instructions for GitHub [here](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/) (select "repo" permissions)
|
|
|
|
You can find instructions for GitLab [here](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/README.html#personal-access-tokens).
|
|
|
|
This token needs to be configured via file, environment variable, or CLI. See [docs/configuration.md](docs/configuration.md) for details.
|
|
The simplest way is to expose it as `GITHUB_TOKEN` or `GITLAB_TOKEN`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Run `renovate --help` for usage details.
|
|
|
|
Note: The first time you run `renovate` on a repository, it will not upgrade any dependencies. Instead, it will create a Pull Request (Merge Request if GitLab) called 'Configure Renovate' and commit a default `renovate.json` file to the repository. This PR can be close unmerged if the default settings are fine for you. Also, this behaviour can be disabled if you set the `onboarding` configuration option to `false` before running.
