This repository contains the centralized Renovate configuration for Brave projects. It provides a standardized approach to dependency updates across our codebase.

Renovate is an automated dependency update tool that helps keep your dependencies up-to-date. This configuration repository serves as the source of truth for Renovate settings across Brave projects.

• Standardized dependency update policies
• Automated GitHub Actions updates
• Controlled major version updates
• Weekly update schedule
• Concurrent PR limit management
• Custom package rules for different update types

The default configuration (default.json):

• Extends recommended Renovate configuration
• Pins GitHub Action digests to semantic versions
• Pins dev dependencies
• Updates minor and patch versions on Tuesday-Thursday
• Requires dashboard approval for major version updates
• Enables GitHub Actions updates with auto-approval and auto-merge
• Limits concurrent PRs to 1
• Disables vulnerability alerts

To use this configuration in your repository, add a renovate.json file with:

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",

    "local>brave/renovate-config"
