Create .github/dependabot.yml file

[Indy-rbo]

Description

Saw this comment #440 (comment) and thought it should be possible to adjust these labels. I would suggest to try creating a .github/dependabot.yml file where you can override its defaults for things like labels and more (See the docs here). This should hopefully make Dependabot fit better with your preferences.

Small example of what I mean:

# .github/dependabot.yml
version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "maven"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "daily"
    labels:
      - "kind/dependencies"
      - "lang/java"
  - package-ecosystem: "npm"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "daily"
    labels:
      - "kind/dependencies"
      - "lang/javascript"

Alternatives

Keep changing the labels manually.
