renovate-migrate

Automate code migrations for Renovate pull requests by applying focused code changes to update files affected by Renovate-identified breaking dependency upgrades. The process reads PR review comments, locates old API usages, applies targeted fixes, and creates one small commit per logical change to keep history clean.

Handling dependency upgrades when Renovate identifies required code modifications involves converting review findings into concrete code changes. This avoids lengthy manual refactoring by systematically applying code fixes across the repository and producing a ready-to-review PR summary for reviewers.

Yes, you can push commits and post a migration summary to a Renovate PR automatically. After applying code migrations, building, formatting, and running tests, the workflow optionally pushes commits and posts a clear migration summary comment to the pull request for reviewers.

Yes, you need build and test access to run code migrations for Renovate dependency upgrades. The process requires the ability to search and edit source files, run builds and tests after edits to verify changes, and optionally push commits to the repository.

Targeted code migration keeps commit history clean during a Renovate major bump by creating one small commit per logical change. It locates old API usages, applies focused migrations across affected files, and verifies edits through builds and tests before optionally pushing.

Limitations when automating Renovate PR code migrations include the requirement for PR context or comment access to identify breaking changes. The process depends on existing review details listing required code modifications, and it cannot infer migrations without Renovate review findings present in the conversation context.
