Reconfiguring Renovate How to reconfigure Renovate once it's onboarded

Reconfiguring Renovate

There will likely be times when you need to change your Renovate config. There are two recommended approaches:

Reconfigure via PR

If you wish to make config edits directly, it's recommended to do so via a PR and then run Renovate's config validator to verify it. The validator is named renovate-config-validator and installed alongside renovate itself if you run npm i -g renovate or equivalent. If it validates your new config then it should be safe to merge.

Validation when using CircleCI

If you are using CircleCI, you can use the third-party daniel-shuy/renovate orb to validate your config as part of your workflow, e.g.

version: '2.1'
orbs:
  renovate: daniel-shuy/renovate@2.1
workflows:
  lint:
    jobs:
      - renovate/validate-config

Nuke config and re-onboard

Perhaps you really liked the interactive PR and want to see it again. In that case:

  1. Find and rename your original Configure Renovate PR (e.g. to Configure Renovate - old)
  2. Delete your Renovate config (e.g. renovate.json) from your base branch

This will be enough to trick Renovate into thinking that the repository was never onboarded and it will trigger a new Configure Renovate PR again. Any existing Renovate PRs in progress may be closed, however.
