Automated Dependency Updates for pip Requirements

Categories: python

Renovate supports updating pip Requirements dependencies.

File Matching

By default, Renovate will check any files matching the following regular expression: (^|/)[\w-]*requirements([-.]\w+)?\.(txt|pip)$.

For details on how to extend a manager's fileMatch value, please follow this link.

Supported datasources

This manager supports extracting the following datasources: pypi, git-tags.

Default config

{
  "fileMatch": [
    "(^|/)[\\w-]*requirements([-.]\\w+)?\\.(txt|pip)$"
  ]
}

Additional Information

Supports requirements.txt and requirements.pip files. The default file pattern is fairly flexible, to try to catch similarly named ones too (eg requirements-*.txt requirements.*.txt requirements-*.pip and requirements.*.pip) but may be extended/changed.
