What would you like to do?

Is there a way to group a couple related dependencies together when renovate-bot bumps them?

For instance, I had to raise this PR: googleapis/java-bigquery#46 in order to bump gax, google-core, and auth together. Bumping one by one caused build failure since one is dependent on another - so they needed to be bumped together. This also happens with easyMock and Objenesis -- which should be bumped together.

Please let me know how to configure and what parameters to use to enable this.

Thank you!

Hi @stephaniewang526, were you able to find out the answer on your own, or would you like any help? In short, Renovate uses the config option groupName to group together related packages. Any packages which you think should be always grouped together for everyone (e.g. because they're published from a monorepo) could be added to the app's global presets: https://github.com/renovatebot/presets

Otherwise if they are repository-specific then you can define them in packageRules.
