docs/data/reusables/dependabot/supported-package-managers.md

The following table shows, for each package manager:

• The YAML value to use in the dependabot.yml file
• The supported versions of the package manager
• Whether dependencies in private {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} repositories or registries are supported
• Whether vendored dependencies are supported

{% tip %}

Tip: For package managers such as pipenv and poetry, you need to use the pip YAML value. For example, if you use poetry to manage your Python dependencies and want {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} to monitor your dependency manifest file for new versions, use package-ecosystem: "pip" in your dependabot.yml file.

{% endtip %}

Cargo

Private registry support applies to git registries, and doesn't include cargo registries.

{% ifversion dependabot-version-updates-enhanced-docker-support %}

Docker

{% ifversion dependabot-version-updates-docker-metadata-support %} {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} can add metadata from Docker images to pull requests for version updates. The metadata includes release notes, changelogs and the commit history. Repository administrators can use the metadata to quickly evaluate the stability risk of the dependency update.

In order for {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} to fetch Docker metadata, maintainers of Docker images must add the org.opencontainers.image.source label to their Dockerfile, and include the URL of the source repository. Additionally, maintainers must tag the repository with the same tags as the published Docker images. For an example, see the dependabot-fixtures/docker-with-source repository. For more information on Docker labels, see Extension image labels and BUILDX_GIT_LABELS in the Docker documentation. {% endif %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} can update Docker image tags in Kubernetes manifests. Add an entry to the Docker package-ecosystem element of your dependabot.yml file for each directory containing a Kubernetes manifest which references Docker image tags. Kubernetes manifests can be Kubernetes Deployment YAML files or Helm charts. For information about configuring your dependabot.yml file for docker, see "package-ecosystem" in "AUTOTITLE."

{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} supports both public and private Docker registries. For a list of the supported registries, see "docker-registry" in "AUTOTITLE." {% endif %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} only supports updates to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} using the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} repository syntax, such as {% data reusables.actions.action-checkout %}. Docker Hub and {% data variables.product.prodname_registry %} {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %} URLs are currently not supported.

Gradle

{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} doesn't run Gradle but supports updates to the following files:

• build.gradle, build.gradle.kts (for Kotlin projects){% ifversion dependabot-updates-gradle-versions-catalog-support %}
• gradle/libs.versions.toml (for projects using a standard Gradle version catalog){% endif %}
• Files included via the apply declaration that have dependencies in the filename. Note that apply does not support apply to, recursion, or advanced syntaxes (for example, Kotlin's apply with mapOf, filenames defined by property).

Maven

{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} doesn't run Maven but supports updates to pom.xml files.

NuGet CLI

{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} doesn't run the NuGet CLI but does support most features up until version 4.8.

{% ifversion dependabot-PEP621-support %}

pip and pip-compile

In addition to supporting updates to requirements.txt files, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} supports updates to pyproject.toml files if they follow the PEP 621 standard. {% endif %}

pnpm

{% ifversion dependabot-dependency-graph-pnpm %} pnpm is supported for {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_version_updates %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %}.

{% else %} pnpm is supported for {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_version_updates %} only. {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %} are not currently supported. {% endif %}

{% ifversion fpt or ghec or ghes %}

pub

{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} won't perform an update for pub when the version that it tries to update to is ignored, even if an earlier version is available. {% endif %}

{% ifversion dependabot-updates-swift-support %}

Swift

Private registry support applies to git registries only. Swift registries are not supported. Non-declarative manifests are not supported. For more information on non-declarative manifests, see Editing Non-Declarative Manifests in the Swift Evolution documentation. {% endif %}

{% ifversion dependabot-yarn-v3-update %}

yarn

Dependabot supports vendored dependencies for v2 onwards. {% endif %}
