Description

Summary

Enabling dependabot for the repository. This will give us a better understanding of dependency security vulnerabilities and keep up to date with latest versions.

View alerts about dependencies that are known to contain security vulnerabilities, and choose whether to have pull requests generated automatically to update these dependencies. For more information, see "About Dependabot alerts" and "About Dependabot security updates."

Why is this needed?

Supply chain security and updates.
Dependabot alerts tell you that your code depends on a package that is insecure.

Dependabot consists of three different features that help you manage your dependencies:

Dependabot alerts—inform you about vulnerabilities in the dependencies that you use in your repository.
Dependabot security updates—automatically raise pull requests to update the dependencies you use that have known security vulnerabilities.
Dependabot version updates—automatically raise pull requests to keep your dependencies up-to-date.
