Questions & answers

What is Mend Renovate?

“Mend Renovate is a family of products that helps developers keep their dependencies up-to-date. It automates the process of finding new versions, creating pull requests (PRs), and reviewing changes, saving developers valuable time and effort.”

Is Mend Renovate the same as Renovate Bot?

“Yes. Renovate (often called “Renovate Bot”) is the open source dependency update tool created in 2017 and acquired by Mend.io (formerly WhiteSource) in 2019. Mend Renovate is the product family built on that engine — the free CLI, the free hosted Community edition, and the paid Enterprise edition all share the same core codebase.”

How does Mend Renovate work?

“Mend Renovate scans files to find open source dependencies and checks for available updates. It then automatically generates pull requests so developers can easily merge the updates. Mend Renovate is fully configurable, following your update policies and schedules.”
