I've created a shared configuration for plugins and core components
available at https://github.com/jenkinsci/renovate-config
It's consumable via
{
"$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json";,
"extends": [
"github>jenkinsci/renovate-config"
]
}
in a renovate.json, even outside the jenkinsci org!
Feedback on the defined configuration preset is welcome.
