Renovate

Renovate CLI

The open source Renovate CLI is a Node.js application distributed via npm and as Docker images on Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry. It can be run locally, in CI, or as a long-lived self-hosted bot to scan repositories, detect dependency files for 100+ package managers, and open pull requests that update outdated versions, lockfiles, and digests. Self-hosted Renovate is configured through environment variables, a JS/JSON config file, and per-repository config files.
