Dependabot
In plain terms
A tool that automatically updates project dependencies.
Going deeper
Dependabot scans dependencies for outdated or vulnerable versions and opens pull requests to update them. It keeps libraries current and safe.
Under the hood
Integrated into GitHub; automates security and version updates, reducing supply-chain risk.
Examples
Dependency updates, security patches, GitHub PRs, vulnerability fixes.
Think of it like...
Like an assistant who notices outdated supplies and orders replacements automatically.
