Dependency Maintenance Documentation

[lastrucci01]

Description

Create documentation on guidelines to go about when updating dependencies.
It will probably involve going to the branch of the dependency upgrade and figuring if, and why, it might break and updating the code and testing before merging it into master.

Background

There is a dependancy bot in the repo that checks for out of date dependencies, once found it creates a new branch, updates the dependencies and creates a PR. Dependencies have a high chance of causing packages in the project to be invalid with one another and cause errors.

Tasks

Include specific tasks in the order they need to be done in. Include links to specific lines of code where the task should happen at.

• Figure out the method used for updating dependencies.
• Create documentation for contributors of the repo to know how to maintain dependencies.
