Configuration Summary

Based on the default config's presets, Renovate will:

• Start dependency updates only once this Configure Renovate PR is merged
• Separate major versions of dependencies into individual branches/PRs
• Do not separate patch and minor upgrades into separate PRs for the same dependency
• Upgrade to unstable versions only if the existing version is unstable
• Raise PRs immediately (after branch is created)
• Use renovate/ as prefix for all branch names
• If semantic commits detected, use semantic commit type fix for dependencies and chore for all others
• Keep existing branches updated even when not scheduled
• Disable automerging feature - wait for humans to merge all PRs
• Ignore node_modules, bower_components, vendor and various test/tests directories
• Update existing lock files only when package.json is modified
• Autodetect whether to pin dependencies or maintain ranges
• Rate limit PR creation to a maximum of two per hour
• Limit to maximum 20 open PRs at any time
• Group known monorepo packages together
• Use curated list of recommended non-monorepo package groupings

Renovate is disabled

Renovate is disabled due to lack of config. If you wish to reenable it, you can either (a) commit a config file to your base branch, or (b) rename this closed PR to trigger a replacement onboarding PR.

If/when this gets reopened, I should point out that 16.10 and 18.10 are not LTS versions and probably not worth testing for.
