GitHub Universe 2024 Session: Tackling supply chain vulnerabilities with Dependabot

Dependency updates can introduce breaking changes that lead to failing CI tests and deployment delays. Identifying the exact cause of these breaks and implementing the correct fix can require significant time and effort, making it challenging to stay on the most up-to-date and secure version of a dependency.

Dependabot can now leverage the power of Copilot Autofix to analyze dependency updates that fail CI tests and suggest fixes, all within the pull request. Copilot Autofix for Dependabot not only helps keep your dependencies up to date, but also keeps your CI green. Staying up-to-date on dependencies upgrades with breaking changes is now easier and faster than ever.
