chore(deps): drop the Dependabot actions fallback now Renovate runs - #10
Merged
Conversation
.github/dependabot.yml covered only the github-actions ecosystem and documented its own exit condition: "disable this file if Renovate covers actions in a given repo". The Renovate app is now installed and enabled on the organization, and the shared preset both groups `matchManagers: ["github-actions"]` and pins their digests, so keeping the fallback means a second PR for every actions bump.
The file is removed in this branch, so the setup table would point at something that no longer exists.

Why
.github/dependabot.ymlstated its own exit condition:That condition is now met. Renovate is installed and enabled on the organization, and the shared preset at
JorisJonkers-dev/renovate-configcovers the actions manager twice over:{ "matchManagers": ["github-actions"], "groupName": "github actions dependencies" } { "matchManagers": ["github-actions"], "pinDigests": true }Keeping both means every action bump arrives as two PRs against the same file — one grouped and digest-pinned from Renovate, one single-dependency from Dependabot.
Scope
The Dependabot config declared exactly one ecosystem,
github-actions, so nothing else is lost. Renovate additionally pins digests, which this config did not.The same change already merged in
github-workflows,gradle-conventionsandkotlin-spring-commons. This repository and.githubwere missed in that pass;repo-templatealso carries the fallback but removing it there is a template-policy decision, sincescripts/validate-templates.shasserts the file exists.Also in this branch
docs/REPO_SETUP.mdlisteddependabot.ymlin the repository layout table. That row would have pointed at a file that no longer exists, so it now names onlyrenovate.json. A grep fordependabotacross the repository returns nothing after both commits.
