GitHub Dependabot options reference open-pull-requests-limit security updates version updates
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The open-pull-requests-limit option in your dependabot.yml file is used to manage the number of open pull requests created by Dependabot version updates [1][2]. Key details regarding this option include: Default Behavior: By default, Dependabot allows a maximum of 5 open pull requests for version updates at any given time [1][3][2]. If this limit is reached, Dependabot will not open new pull requests until existing ones are merged or closed [1][2]. Security Updates: Pull requests generated by security updates are not subject to the open-pull-requests-limit and do not count toward this total [1][2]. There is no default limit on the number of open pull requests for security updates [2]. Disabling Updates: You can effectively disable version updates for a specific package ecosystem by setting open-pull-requests-limit to 0 [1][4][2]. This technique is often used when a repository owner wishes to receive only security updates for a particular package manager while excluding version updates [4][5]. Configuration: This option is defined under the updates section of your dependabot.yml file for each package ecosystem [3]. Example: updates: - package-ecosystem: "npm" directory: "/" schedule: interval: "weekly" # Set limit to 10 open version update PRs open-pull-requests-limit: 10 Source [1], [4], [2] provide the technical foundation for this behavior.

Confirm the pull-request limit scope.
open-pull-requests-limit applies only to version-update pull requests. Security-update pull requests do not count towards this limit and can still be opened, including when Cargo is set to 0. If the policy must cap all open Dependabot pull requests, these settings do not enforce it. Confirm that the policy is version-update-only or define how security-update pull requests will be managed.
