renovate-config

This repository contains a custom configuration preset for Jenkins plugins.

Usage

On-boarding renovate

1. Create a new file .github/renovate.json containing:

   {
     "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
     "extends": [
       "github>jenkinsci/renovate-config"
     ]
   }

2. Run a manual scan on your repository from the mend.io developer portal by selecting "Run Renovate Scan".

3. That's it. Renovate will now use the custom configuration preset.

Existing renovate configuration

1. Check to see if you have a renovate.json already. It can be in any of these possible locations.

We recommend moving it to .github/renovate.json if it is not already there.

2. Change renovate config to:

   {
     "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
     "extends": [
       "github>jenkinsci/renovate-config"
     ]
   }

3. By extending from github>jenkinsci/renovate-config any usage of enabledManagers will disable the default managers. Unless there is a specific reason to do so, enabledManagers should be removed.

   # remove this
   "enabledManagers": [
     "customManager1",
     "customManager2"
   ]

4. That's it. Renovate will now use the custom configuration preset.

Development

Validating your own renovate.json
