renovate-config-aberlaas

This is shared Renovate config that is mostly used by projects created using aberlaas.

Presets

default

This contains the main options that you should enable on all aberlaas projects.

• Automatically rebase PRs when they are stale
• Create commits following the type(keyword): description pattern
• Add some fairly large limit to the number of concurrent jobs
• Set all timezones to Paris
• Do not update docker image in .circleci/config.yml
• Do not update node version in .nvmrc

automergeSilently

This will attempt at merging patch and minor updates silently in a branch in the background and then merging that branch into master. If the merge somehow fails, a PR will be created to inspect the issue.

This is the recommended setting as it will keep updating non-breaking changes in dependencies without human intervention and only ask for review when tests are failing.

scheduleAtAnyTime

This will attempt to merge updates as soon as they are discovered. This works really well with the automergeSilently feature as most of the time the updates will happen invisibly in the background.

enableMasterIssue

Turned off by default

This will create a master issue in the "Issues" tab referencing all the currently opened PRs, along with a checkbox to force a rebase. This tends to clutter the display so has been turned off.

automergePublicly

Turned off by default

This will create a PR for each minor and patch update, asking for human verification before merging. This was enabled at first to double check what was going on, but has been turned off now that everything sails smoothly. It's still here for debugging purposes.

sheduleAtNight

Turned off by default

Will only attempt merging updates out of work hours. This can be useful when coupled with automergePublicly to reduce the noise from notification, but is mostly useless otherwise.

Usage

In your .github/renovate.json file, for example:

{
  "extends": [
    "config:js-lib",
    "aberlaas",
    "aberlaas:automergeSilently",
    "aberlaas:scheduleAtAnyTime"
  ]
}

Release

Run yarn run release {major|minor|patch} to release a new version. Aberlaas uses the latest deployed version
