3-62: ⚡ Quick winConsider adding reviewers and assignees for better PR workflow.
The configuration is functional, but you might want to enhance it with:
- Auto-assign reviewers: Automatically assign team members to review dependency updates
- Commit message customization: Add prefixes to make automated commits easier to identify
- Ignore specific dependencies: Pin dependencies you don't want updated
📋 Example enhancements

See Dependabot documentation for all available options.

Remove the non-functional npm configuration or relocate it to individual UI repositories.
This central hub repository contains no package.json files, making the npm Dependabot configuration (lines 6-22) non-functional. The comment states it "Covers all Angular / React frontend UI repositories," but those repositories (Inventory-UI, MMU-UI, TM-UI, HWC-UI, etc.) are separate GitHub repositories listed in the README, not subdirectories of this repo.
Each frontend repository should have its own .github/dependabot.yml configured to monitor npm dependencies. Remove the npm entry from this central hub repository unless you plan to move the actual frontend code here.

Remove the Maven ecosystem configuration or add Maven project files.
The Maven configuration in this Dependabot entry will not function: there is no pom.xml file at the repository root, and no Maven projects were found anywhere in the repository. Either:
- Remove this Maven entry if this is not a Maven-based project
- Add Maven project files (at least a root
pom.xml) if Maven dependencies should be monitored
The current configuration monitors the root directory ("/") for Maven dependencies that do not exist, making this configuration ineffective.

AMRIT's security policy recommends keeping dependencies updated, but there's no automated mechanism to do this. This adds a Dependabot config to automatically open PRs for outdated npm, Maven, and GitHub Actions dependencies on a weekly schedule. Minor and patch updates are grouped to reduce noise, with a limit of 10 open PRs for npm/Maven and 5 for Actions.
