When you maintain a codebase it will become hard to keep track and update the dependencies installed over time.

For security reasons it's important to keep things up to date and it's always a huge pain doing that manually. Check for updates, make sure nothing is breaking your code etc. Therefore, you will need a essential tool for efficient dependency version management. That's where tools like Dependabot comes to help!

Dependabot helps developers keep their software up to date by automatically checking for and updating any outdated or vulnerable dependencies in their code. This is important because outdated dependencies can create security vulnerabilities and other issues that can cause problems for both the developer and the end user.

By using Dependabot, developers can save time and ensure their code is secure and up to date, which can lead to a more reliable and stable application. Dependabot automatically creates pull requests that the team can review and test before merging an updating dependencies and it`s fully integrated in Github.

Sounds cool right? 😎
