{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} takes the effort out of maintaining your dependencies. You can use it to ensure that your repository automatically keeps up with the latest releases of the packages and applications it depends on.

You enable {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_version_updates %} by checking a _dependabot.yml_ configuration file into your repository. The configuration file specifies the location of the manifest, or of other package definition files, stored in your repository. {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} uses this information to check for outdated packages and applications. {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} determines if there is a new version of a dependency by looking at the semantic versioning ([semver](https://semver.org/)) of the dependency to decide whether it should update to that version. For certain package managers, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_version_updates %} also supports vendoring. Vendored (or cached) dependencies are dependencies that are checked in to a specific directory in a repository rather than referenced in a manifest. Vendored dependencies are available at build time even if package servers are unavailable. {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_version_updates %} can be configured to check vendored dependencies for new versions and update them if necessary.

When {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} identifies an outdated dependency, it raises a pull request to update the manifest to the latest version of the dependency. For vendored dependencies, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} raises a pull request to replace the outdated dependency with the new version directly. You check that your tests pass, review the changelog and release notes included in the pull request summary, and then merge it.
