Hide dependabot PR link-back noise #4480

fregante posted onGitHub

In PRs, we can hide any mentions from PRs include Update dependency * to. I think they should be completely hidden without Unhide button. Maybe as a new init in dim-bots?

Actually, that's Renovate not Dependabot. Dependabot's references uses github-redirect.dependabot.com instead of linking directly, so it won't flood the original discussion (example: https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/pull/3912.

I think we should report this to Renovate, rather than just hiding them.

EDIT: I noticed Renovate does something similar using togithub.com, but apparently there is a field called "Reasoning" that still uses raw github.com link.

EDIT 2: Looks like they only replace some links: href=" ]( ]: . The reference in https://github.com/xojs/eslint-config-xo-typescript/releases/v0.42.0 doesn't match this, so it was left as-is and caused what you see. I'm a little hesitant, should we ask them to replace all GitHub links? Can't think of any negative outcome but perhaps not the best solution.

Yeah this looks like a "bug" in their replacer. Closing for now. If I see it again I'll report it. Until then, anyone else can do the same.
