This is a very interesting service, thank you! May I ask you for some little thing that might change the (development) world? Would you please like to introduce a folder, where people might put their dependency.yml file - this is an effort to finally stop the spreading cancer of "put one more config file into the project root". I would like to suggest to call that folder simply "config" - all the projects and tools o…

Agreed, I'll definitely the ability to move your dependencyci.yml file into a .github folder like the issue and pull request templates: https://github.com/blog/2111-issue-and-pull-request-template...

Agreed, I'll definitely the ability to move your dependencyci.yml file into a .github folder like the issue and pull request templates: https://github.com/blog/2111-issue-and-pull-request-template...

Except this isn't GitHub specific.

I've thought of the same thing, but I feel that the horse has well and truly bolted, run back through the barn a few times, kicked some shelving over and then continued out the front and over the horizon at a brisk pace.

The ideal solution is a migration path; retain support for config in project root, but check a configuration directory first.

Workable. It'd be nice to clean up the global namespace a bit. Especially when it's a single-repo project.

beefsack is right, please do NOT make it a github specific thing. Just one config folder. All config files for services, integration, etc. should go there.

Thanks again!

OP- Do you have a roadmap to supporting this outside of GitHub? I think the people that benefit most from it, due to corporate policies and outdated deps, are the people least likely to be using GitHub!

Everyone else - Is this a general problem with people locking these (very cool) tools to GitHub? Is there a generalised solution to the problem of source control integration?

Great work on this, looks very useful. Does it only work with GitHub? Would love to have this for my private GitLab instance

Yep. Same for Bitbucket. Or just support all git repos that are accessible via the public internet. Github's pricing model means that lots of people can't use it for private repos - 'per repo' pricing isn't fun if you prefer lots of small repos.

Github changed their pricing model to per user pricing with unlimited private repos:
