We are using Databricks and created a minimal db10_4_requirement.txt that corresponds to specific databricks runtime so our team can set their venv on their laptop. Dependbot keeps giving me upgrade suggestions which I am not interested in. How can I tell it to ignore this file?

I did a little research and did this step by step:
Here's an example of how you can configure Dependabot to ignore the db10_4_requirement.txt file:

1. Create a .dependabot directory in the root of your repository if it doesn't already exist.

2. Inside the .dependabot directory, create a config.yml file.

3. Add the following content to the config.yml file:

This configuration specifies that Dependabot should ignore updates for the db10_4_requirement.txt file located in the root directory ("/") of the repository.

4. Commit and push the .dependabot/config.yml file to your repository.

I hope this solves your problem!

Maybe there's a problem, since I'm Brazilian and I speak Portuguese so the links I used are in Portuguese (I don't know if they have a good translation)
