Renovate is a cross-platform CLI tool that automatically detects outdated dependencies in repositories and creates pull requests to update them. It supports over 90 package managers and integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and other code hosting platforms, available as a cloud-hosted app or self-hosted job.
Use cases
- automatically update npm dependencies in my repos
- keep docker image tags up to date with automated PRs
- schedule dependency update pull requests on gitlab
- self-host a dependency update bot for all my repositories
- reduce dependency update toil across a large monorepo
- get merge confidence and adoption info before merging dependency bumps
When to choose
- you want automated dependency update PRs across many languages and package managers
- you use GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps and want minimal setup
- you need a self-hosted, highly configurable update bot
- you want merge confidence signals to decide which updates to accept
When to avoid
- you only need vulnerability scanning without automated update PRs
- you want a GUI dashboard rather than a CLI/scheduled job
- you need a solution licensed for commercial redistribution under permissive terms (AGPL-3.0)
