Is there a way to hide dependabot commits in the history of a repo? (lemmy.pe1uca.dev)

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm trying to see how active a project is, but dependabot spam makes it annoying to find actual commits and to know if those commits are relevant.

There's no need for me to know chai was updated from 5.1.1 to 5.1.2, I want to see what were the most recent actual features implemented.

Release must be documented

It's not a must [unless you put it into a contract], it's a should or would be nice

Many, if not most, projects don't follow a good, obvious, transparent, documented release or change management.

I wish for it, too, but it's not the reality of projects. Most people don't seem to care about it as much as I do.

I agree blind acceptance/merging is problematic. But for some projects (small scope/size/personal-FOSS, trustworthy upstream) I see it as pragmatic rather than problematic.
