Dependabot Now Supports Configuration of a Minimum Package Age 🤖

[ghostinhershell]

Dependabot now supports configuring a minimum package age.

What’s new?

• You can set a minimum package age for updates in your Dependabot configuration.
• This helps you avoid updating to packages that have just been released, giving you more control over when updates are proposed.

Who is impacted?

• Anyone using Dependabot to automate dependency updates in their repositories.

Why does this matter?

• Setting a minimum package age can help reduce the risk of adopting newly published packages before they’ve had time to be vetted by the community.
