#GitHub #agenticworkflow and #renovatebot.
In this post, I want to describe the problem when combining the two, how I tried to fix it, and the correct solution.

GitHub agentic workflows and Renovate
I’ve been a big fan of Renovate for a couple of years already. Renovate scans your repositories, detects outdated package versions, and opens pull requests to automatically bump them. It’s similar to Dependabot in that it keeps your dependencies up to date. If I had to compare them in one sentence, I’d say Renovate is less integrated in the GitHub ecosystem, but handles more ecosystems and, more importantly, is extensible.
