.github/dependabot.yml

@@ -0,0 +1,77 @@
+# To get started with Dependabot version updates, you'll need to specify which
+# package ecosystems to update and where the package manifests are located.
+# Please see the documentation for all configuration options:
+# https://docs.github.com/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/configuration-options-for-the-dependabot.yml-file
+
+# This Dependabot configuration file is set up to manage dependency updates for both Python packages (pip) and GitHub Actions workflows.
+# 
+# Key points:
+# - Dependencies are categorized into production and development groups.
+# - The "setuptools" package is treated as an exception: it is excluded from the production group but is still allowed to be updated as a production dependency.
+# - The configuration includes specific labels, assignees, and commit message formats to streamline the update process.
+# - Updates are scheduled to run weekly on Tuesdays.
