Walkthrough

The changes made in this pull request focus on the configuration of the .github/dependabot.yml file. They introduce specific rules for managing updates to "Rollkit" dependencies, allowing for daily updates of minor and patch versions for specified packages. Additionally, the configuration now includes weekly update schedules for other dependencies, while retaining a grouping mechanism for patch updates across different package ecosystems.

Changes

.github/dependabot.yml	- Added daily updates for rollkit/* and github.com/rollkit/* dependencies.
	- Established weekly updates for github-actions and gomod package ecosystems.
	- Implemented grouping for patch updates across specified ecosystems.

Poem

In the garden of code, where dependencies bloom,
Rollkit now dances, dispelling the gloom.
With daily updates, they hop and they play,
While weekly companions join in the fray.
A patch here, a patch there, all neatly in line,
Oh, what a delight, in this code we entwine! 🐇✨

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

19-33: LGTM: Rollkit-specific updates for gomod are well-configured.

This configuration effectively mirrors the github-actions setup, providing consistency across ecosystems. It will help reduce Dependabot spam for Go modules while keeping Rollkit dependencies up-to-date.

For consistency with the github-actions configuration, consider adding the open-pull-requests-limit setting here as well. If you want to allow unlimited PRs for Rollkit dependencies, you can set it to a high number or remove it entirely.

Line range hint 34-61: LGTM: Configuration for other dependencies is well-structured.

This configuration effectively reduces Dependabot spam for non-Rollkit dependencies by:

1. Scheduling weekly updates instead of daily.
2. Grouping patch updates to reduce the number of PRs.
3. Limiting the number of open PRs to 10 for each ecosystem.

These settings strike a good balance between keeping dependencies updated and managing the volume of PRs.

For improved clarity, consider adding a comment explaining why only patch updates are grouped for non-Rollkit dependencies, while both minor and patch updates are grouped for Rollkit dependencies. This will help future maintainers understand the rationale behind the different grouping strategies.

Line range hint 1-61: Great job on restructuring the Dependabot configuration!

The changes in this file effectively address the PR objective of reducing Dependabot spam by splitting out updates. Here's a summary of the improvements:

1. Rollkit dependencies are updated daily, with minor and patch updates grouped.
2. Other dependencies are updated weekly, with only patch updates grouped.
3. The open PR limit for non-Rollkit dependencies helps manage the volume of updates.

This structure should significantly reduce the number of Dependabot PRs while ensuring that critical Rollkit dependencies are kept up-to-date more frequently. The configuration is well-organized and easy to understand, which will benefit future maintenance.

To further improve this configuration, consider:

1. Monitoring the effectiveness of these changes over time and adjusting the update frequencies or grouping strategies if needed.
2. Documenting the rationale behind the different update strategies for Rollkit and non-Rollkit dependencies in a README or CONTRIBUTING file.
