Do you know if all your repositories have up-to-date dependencies?
Blog post from GitHub
Ensuring up-to-date dependencies in repositories is essential for maintaining project quality and security, as outdated dependencies can lead to vulnerabilities and performance issues. Dependabot automates the updating process by creating pull requests for new versions, but its configuration per repository can lead to inconsistent management. To address this, GitHub's Open Source Program Office developed Evergreen, a GitHub Action that streamlines the deployment of Dependabot version updates across all repositories within an organization. Evergreen automates the setup and configuration of Dependabot, ensuring uniformity and allowing developers to focus on code quality without the burden of manual updates. By triggering Evergreen on a schedule or manually, organizations can achieve consistent dependency management, thereby enhancing the security and stability of their projects.
