Take a look at pr-bot:

The answer to dependabot, or snyk prs is to automatically merge them once all the status checks pass.

This free your devs from having to worry about patching.

PR-BOT will let you define policy on when it’s ok to automerge prs.

I don’t have experience with dependabot at all. I didn’t realize it was satire. I just kept thinking, “This sounds like terrible advice. This can’t be right.”

This is not satire.

If you have a large dependency graph, you are going to have a lot of vulnerable stuff.

Letting one computer send you patches and the other computer merge it for you when all your tests pass is a good thing.
