What

• Reducing Dependabot noise using groups

Until today, Dependabot would always open individual pull requests for every dependency update in accordance with your configuration in dependabot.yml. Not only can this result in a large number of Dependabot pull requests, but there are some dependencies which must be updated in tandem with each other or the update will fail. In these cases, the individual Dependabot pull requests would always fail until you manually intervened to do the update.

Now, in your dependabot.yml configuration file, you can set custom grouping rules for Dependabot based on pattern matching on package name.
