Update renovate config for all your repositories

Setup

1. git clone git@github.com:runely/update-renovate-config.git
2. npm i
3. Create a renovate_preset.json file or rename renovate_preset_example.json, containing your new renovate config to be used in all your repos
4. Create a personal access token with repo scope
5. Create a .env file:

   GITHUB_USERNAME=<GitHub username where personal-access-token is created>
   GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<personal-access-token>
   GITHUB_REPO_USERNAME=<Add this line to fetch repos from this user>
   GITHUB_REPO_ORGNAME=<Add this line to fetch repos from this organization>
   RENOVATE_CONFIG=<Full path to renovate_preset.json file>
   RENOVATE_COMMIT_MESSAGE=<Your own commit message. If set to empty or removed, a default commit message will be used>

Make sure GITHUB_USERNAME has read/write access to both GITHUB_REPO_USERNAME and GITHUB_REPO_ORGNAME!

If both GITHUB_REPO_USERNAME and GITHUB_REPO_ORGNAME are set, GITHUB_REPO_ORGNAME will be used!

Usage

1. Run npm run get-repos to create a repos.json file in the data folder containing an array of all your repos
2. Run npm run get-renovate-repos to find which repos actually use renovate
3. Run npm run clone-repos to clone down a fresh copy of all repos. They will be saved in ./repos folder
4. Run npm run update-repos to update renovate config in all repos

❗ This tool will only modify and commit to a repository if:

• It's not archived
• It already has a renovate.json file
• renovate.json file is different from renovate_preset.json setup earlier
