A Proof of Concept repo to test how [Dependabot](https://github.com/dependabot) can handle the dependencies from
4+
https://maven.google.com
5+
6+
## Problem
7+
8+
We wanted to use Dependabot on an Android Gradle project. The problem is that Dependabot is only
9+
checking https://repo.maven.apache.org for version updates with the [default configuration][dependabot-default-config].
10+
However on an Android project needs a lots of dependencies which are provided by Google.
11+
12+
## Idea
13+
14+
Configure dependabot to be able to scan for dependencies in [https://maven.goolge.com](https://maven.goolge.com).
15+
16+
## Result
17+
18+
Dependabot will check for updates if a [maven registry][dependabot-registries] set up
19+
in [dependabot.yml][dependabot-google-config].
