Label per language

Question

From on January 11, 2018 15:15

You already create new PRs with the dependencies label, which is nice! But in addition I would suggest to add another label that would match the language behind those dependencies (e.g: ruby, javascript). This would really help us to differentiate every PR (for now we're doing this operation manually which is a bit painful)

• apologies for the slow reply on this one. Have you already tried removing the dependencies label that Dependabot places on PRs and replacing it with your own (e.g., dependendencies:ruby)? If you do that then Dependabot will ask you if it should always use that label for the associated language (for the given repo).

We don't currently support doing the above for handling additional labels, because I didn't want to make Dependabot too noisy, but I'll have a think on whether there's a slick way we could.
