Enhanced Dependabot Version Updates on GitHub

GitHub has released a new Dependabot feature allowing developers to group multiple version updates into a single pull request.

Grouped updates simplify dependency management, reduce the risk of breaking changes, and decrease manual workloads for developers.

Users can define groups of dependencies in the dependabot.yml file, specifying options to include or exclude certain dependencies.

The feature supports grouping by dependency type, patterns, or update types, but does not allow grouping for security updates.

This feature is available for those with appropriate permissions to configure in a repository, aiming to streamline the update process.
