Automated dependency updates. Multi-platform and multi-language.

• Get automated Pull Requests to update your dependencies
• Reduce noise by running Renovate on a schedule, for example:
  • on weekends
  • outside of working hours
  • each week
  • each month
• Relevant package files are discovered automatically
• Supports monorepo architectures with workspaces with no extra configuration
• Bot behavior is customizable via configuration files (config as code)
• Use ESLint-like shared config presets for ease of use and simplifying configuration (JSON format only)
• Lock files are supported and updated in the same commit, including immediately resolving conflicts whenever PRs are merged
• Get replacement PRs to migrate from a deprecated dependency to the community suggested replacement, works with most managers, see issue 14149 for exceptions
• Open source (installable via npm/Yarn or Docker Hub) so can be self-hosted or used via the Mend Renovate App

Renovate works on these platforms:

• GitHub (.com and Enterprise Server)
• GitLab (.com and CE/EE)
• Bitbucket Cloud
• Bitbucket Server
• Azure DevOps
• AWS CodeCommit
• Gitea and Forgejo

Renovate is widely used in the developer community:

Renovate is built on a big community and actively invites and supports contributions. Information about our contributors and community can be found on OSS Insight.

We believe everyone benefits from automation, whether it's a little or a lot. This means that Renovate:

• Adapts to your workflow
• Allows you to configure its behavior
• Will autodetect settings where possible

Get started with Renovate by checking out our tutorial.

We recommend that you use the Mend Renovate App. Install the the Mend Renovate App now. More details on the Mend Renovate App installation.

There are two ways to run Renovate on Azure DevOps:

• Renovate Me extension
• Custom pipeline

Go to the Visual Studio Marketplace and install the Renovate Me extension in your organization. From there you can create a pipeline with the RenovateMe task.

You can create a custom pipeline with a yml definition that triggers npx renovate. More details on how to configure the pipeline.

For Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Server, Forgejo, Gitea and GitLab, use our self-hosting option.

Go to our documentation website to learn how to configure Renovate. We have a full list of configuration options.

To get help with your configuration, go to the discussions tab in the Renovate repository and open a new "config help" discussion post.

To run your own instance of Renovate you have several options:

• Install the renovate CLI tool from npmjs, run it on a schedule (e.g. using cron)
• Run the renovate/renovate:full Docker Hub image (same content/versions as the CLI tool), run it on a schedule
• Run the renovate/renovate:latest Docker Hub image if you only use package managers that don't need third-party binaries (e.g. JavaScript, Docker, NuGet, pip)

More details on the self-hosting development.
