## About configuring {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %}
|
|
|
|
You can enable {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %} for any repository that uses {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_alerts %} and the dependency graph. For more information, see "[About {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %}](/github/managing-security-vulnerabilities/about-dependabot-security-updates)."
|
|
|
|
You can disable {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %} for an individual repository or for all repositories owned by your user account or organization. For more information, see "[Managing {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %} for your repositories](#managing-dependabot-security-updates-for-your-repositories)" below.

## Supported repositories
|
|
|
|
{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} automatically enables {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %} for every repository that meets these prerequisites.

|
|
{% note %}
|
|
|
|
**Note**: You can manually enable {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %}, even if the repository doesn't meet some of the prerequisites below. For example, you can enable {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %} on a fork, or for a package manager that isn't directly supported by following the instructions in "[Managing {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %} for your repositories](#managing-dependabot-security-updates-for-your-repositories)."
