{% 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-devcontainer-support %}

Dev containers

You can use devcontainers as a package-ecosystem in your dependabot.yml file to update Features in your devcontainer.json configuration files. For more information about this support, and for configuration file examples, see General Availability of {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} Integration in the Development Containers documentation.

Dev containers are used in several tools and services, including {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %}. For more information about Features and the supported services, see Features and Supporting tools and services in the Development Containers documentation, respectively.

This updater ensures Features are pinned to the latest major version in the associated devcontainer.json file. If a dev container has a lockfile, that file will also be updated. For more information about lockfile specifications, see Lockfiles in the devcontainers/spec repository.

Features in any valid dev container location will be updated in a single pull request. For more information about the dev container specification, see Specification in the Development Containers documentation.

{% endif %}

{% 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_dependabot %} parses Docker image tags for Semantic Versioning (SemVer). If {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} detects a tag with a pre-release, then it will only suggest an update to the latest version with a matching pre-release, and it will not suggest a newer version that use a different pre-release label. For more information, see the dependabot-docker README.md file in the dependabot/dependabot-core repository.

{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} supports version updates for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} with the following caveats.

{% data reusables.actions.dependabot-version-updates-actions-caveats %}

For more information about using {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_version_updates %} with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, see "AUTOTITLE."

Gradle

{% ifversion dependabot-security-updates-gradle-support %}{% else %}Gradle is supported for {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_version_updates %} only.{% endif %}

{% 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).

{% ifversion dependabot-security-updates-gradle-support %} For {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_security_updates %}, Gradle support is limited to manual uploads of the dependency graph data using the {% data variables.dependency-submission-api.name %}. For more information about the {% data variables.dependency-submission-api.name %}, see "AUTOTITLE."

{% note %}

Notes:

• When you upload Gradle dependencies to the dependency graph using the {% data variables.dependency-submission-api.name %}, all project dependencies are uploaded, even transitive dependencies that aren't explicitly mentioned in any dependency file. When an alert is detected in a transitive dependency, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} isn't able to find the vulnerable dependency in the repository, and therefore won't create a security update for that alert.
• {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_version_updates %} will, however, create pull requests when the parent dependency is explicitly declared as a direct dependency in the project's manifest file.

{% endnote %} {% endif %}

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 {% ifversion dependabot-updates-v680-nuget-support %}6.8.0{% elsif ghes = 3.12 %}6.7.0{% else %}4.8{% endif %}.

{% 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 %}

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.

{% ifversion dependabot-updates-pub-private-registry %}

You can use {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} to keep Dart dependencies up-to-date if you use private hosted pub repositories. For information about allowing {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} to access private {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} dependencies, see "[Allowing {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} to access private dependencies](/organizations/keeping-your-organization-secure/managing-security-settings-for-your-organization/managing-security-and-analysis-settings-for-your-organization#allowing-dependabot-to-access-private{% ifversion ghec or ghes %}-or-internal{% endif %}-dependencies)."

{% 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 %}

Terraform

Terraform support includes:

• Modules hosted on Terraform Registry or a publicly reachable Git repository.
• Terraform providers.
• Private Terraform Registry. You can configure access for private git repositories by specifying a git registry in your dependabot.yml file. For more information, see git.

yarn

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