Renovate: Automated dependency update tool
Automated dependency updates via pull requests across 90+ package managers.
Learn more about renovate
Renovate is a CLI tool that automates the process of updating dependencies in code repositories. It discovers package files automatically, checks for available updates from registries, and generates pull requests with relevant metadata to help maintainers make informed decisions. The tool supports a wide range of package managers, programming languages, and repository platforms through a modular architecture. It can be deployed as a cloud-hosted service, self-hosted server, CI pipeline job, or run directly via command line.
Multi-platform support
Supports over 90 different package managers and works across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit, Gitea, Forgejo, and Gerrit. This breadth allows organizations with heterogeneous technology stacks to use a single tool for dependency management.
Flexible deployment options
Can be run as a cloud-hosted service, self-hosted server, GitHub Action, GitLab Runner, or direct CLI invocation. This variety accommodates different infrastructure requirements and allows teams to integrate Renovate into existing CI/CD pipelines.
Configurable update logic
Provides extensive configuration options to control update behavior, including filtering by version age, adoption rates, and merge confidence metrics. Users can define custom rules and schedules rather than accepting a fixed update strategy.
