Enabling or disabling Dependabotセキュリティアップデート for an individual repository

GitHub.comで、リポジトリのメインページにアクセスしてください。
リポジトリ名の下で Settings（設定）をクリックしてください。
In the "Security" section of the sidebar, click Code security and analysis.
Under "Code security and analysis", to the right of "Dependabot security updates", click Enable to enable the feature or Disable to disable it. For public repositories, the button is disabled if the feature is always enabled.

Overriding the default behavior with a configuration file

You can override the default behavior of Dependabotセキュリティアップデート by adding a dependabot.yml file to your repository. For more information, see "Configuration options for the dependabot.yml file."

If you only require security updates and want to exclude version updates, you can set open-pull-request-limit to 0 in order to prevent version updates for a given package-ecosystem. For more information, see "open-pull-request-limit."

# Example configuration file that:
#  - Ignores lodash dependency
#  - Disables version-updates

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "npm"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "daily"
    ignore:
      - dependency-name: "lodash"
        # For Lodash, ignore all updates
    # Disable version updates for npm dependencies
    open-pull-requests-limit: 0

For more information about the configuration options available for security updates, see the table in "Configuration options for the dependabot.yml file."
