Configure Dependency Management

This is a simple script to configure your repo for automatic dependency management using Dependabot and Scala Steward as required.

It supports updates for:

• Github Actions
• Scala
• Typescript
• Go
• Python

The script adds a dependabot.yml file, commits it, and raises a PR.

To use, first ensure you have Go installed and also the Github CLI:

$ brew install go
$ brew install gh
$ gh auth login

Make sure you add Go's bin to your path:

$ echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc
$ source ~/.zshrc

Then install and run:

$ go install github.com/guardian/configure-dependency-management@latest
$ cd [your-project]
$ configure-dependency-management [--dry-run]

Local Development

You can easily rebuild and install locally using:

$ go install
