FAQPage Schema

How do I prioritize Dependabot pull requests for safe merging?▼

To prioritize Dependabot pull requests for safe merging, you can analyze open PRs by parsing version bump types, checking CI status, and evaluating dependency scope to generate a risk-based merge plan.

What is a risk-based merge plan for dependency version bumps?▼

A risk-based merge plan for dependency version bumps categorizes open Dependabot PRs into phases based on risk signals, allowing you to safely merge low-impact updates first and handle high-risk runtime changes later.

Can I analyze Dependabot PRs for both devDependencies and runtime dependencies?▼

Yes, you can analyze Dependabot PRs for both devDependencies and runtime dependencies. The analysis evaluates the dependency scope to differentiate between development and runtime updates for risk assessment.

What's the best way to group open Dependabot PRs before a deployment?▼

The best way to group open Dependabot PRs before a deployment is to run a pre-deployment check that fetches open PRs and outputs a categorized markdown report with a phased merge strategy.

Does the Dependabot merge plan analysis check CI results?▼

Yes, the Dependabot merge plan analysis checks CI results. It parses the CI status of each open pull request to determine if the version bump is safe to merge.

When should I use a phased merge strategy for GitHub pull requests?▼

You should use a phased merge strategy for GitHub pull requests during weekly reviews or pre-deployment checks when you have multiple open Dependabot bumps and need to mitigate risk by merging incrementally.
