Automated Dependency Updates for Pre Commit
Renovate supports updating Pre Commit dependencies.
Enabling¶
Pre Commit functionality is currently in beta testing, so you must opt-in to test it. To enable it, add a configuration like this to either your bot config or your renovate.json:
{
"pre-commit": {
"enabled": true
}
}
If you find any bugs, please create a new discussion first. If you find that it works well, then let us know too.
File Matching¶
By default, Renovate will check any files matching the following regular expression: (^|/)\.pre-commit-config\.ya?ml$.
For details on how to extend a manager's fileMatch value, please follow this link.
Supported datasources¶
This manager supports extracting the following datasources: github-tags, gitlab-tags.
Default config¶
{
"commitMessageTopic": "pre-commit hook {{depName}}",
"enabled": false,
"fileMatch": [
"(^|/)\\.pre-commit-config\\.ya?ml$"
],
"prBodyNotes": [
"Note: The `pre-commit` manager in Renovate is not supported by the `pre-commit` maintainers or community. Please do not report any problems there, instead [create a Discussion in the Renovate repository](https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/discussions/new) if you have any questions."
]
}
Additional Information¶
Important note: The pre-commit manager is disabled by default and must be opted into through config.
Renovate's approach to version updating is not fully aligned with pre-commit autoupdate and this has caused frustration for pre-commit's creator/maintainer.
Attempts to work with the pre-commit project to fix these gaps have been rejected, so we have chosen to disable the manager by default indefinitely.
Please do not contact the pre-commit project/maintainer about any Renovate-related topic.

When enabled, Renovate supports updating of Git dependencies within pre-commit configuration .pre-commit-config.yaml files or other YAML files that use the same format (via fileMatch configuration).
Updates are performed if the files follow the conventional format used in typical pre-commit files:
repos:
- repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
rev: v1.0.0
hooks:
- id: some-hook-id
To enable the pre-commit manager, add the following config:
{
"pre-commit": {
"enabled": true
}
}
Alternatively, add :enablePreCommit to your extends array.
