What is Dependabot version updates?

Version updates is the Dependabot feature that regularly checks a repository's dependencies against their latest available versions (regardless of whether a security issue exists) and opens pull requests to bump them — configured explicitly via a dependabot.yml file specifying which ecosystems to check and how often.

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "pip"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "daily"

Unlike security updates (which are largely automatic once Dependabot alerts are enabled), version updates require this opt-in configuration file, since a team might reasonably want routine version updates on some repositories but not others, or want control over how frequently these update PRs are generated rather than having them appear unpredictably.
