Description
This PR explicitly sets dependabot's
versioning-strategy
toincrease
, making Dependabot always bump versions in the package.json.This repo hasn't had any Dependabot PRs opened in over 2 years. I suspect the cause for that is that Dependabot is running in library mode (see Dependabot docs). In library mode Dependabot will sometimes only bump versions in the lockfile (which this repo doesn't have).
The other option is that Dependabot has been disabled in the repo settings - which I can't check because I have no access.
Enabling Dependabot would be beneficial to the project because, among other things, it would automatically patch dependencies with known vulnerabilities.
