hey @codeboten! can you try adding a .github/dependabot.yml file to the repo, e.g. https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml? I think that should enable it

[trask]

oh, nm, I think I see the setting you are talking about...

[trask]

I enabled these two settings on https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-configuration:

and

[trask]

probably we should update https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/docs/how-to-configure-new-repository.md, I'll send a PR
