Dependabot-core: Julia support?
Hello dependabot,
Julia support would be pretty great. What would this take? Do you take PRs for this sort of thing? Are there guidelines for adding new language support?

Hi! 馃憢 We like to add support where we can, but the team is currently stretched thin as we work to integrate and scale Dependabot for GitHub. :octocat:
We do love contributions though, and would be happy to review any PRs we get. PRs should be submitted on Dependabot Core. All of the language support follows the same general pattern. You can have a look at this one as an example.

Are there any other examples of adding language support out there? Or is that PR you referenced the golden standard?

This PR is pretty new and incomplete. I was actually following the initial example I cited when I started work on this one.
To answer your question, I do think the initial PR I referenced would be a good starting point. As all of the language support follows a similar setup, you could also look at any of the existing language support we have in Dependabot Core. They are all stored under their respective folders (i.e. bundler/, npm_and_yarn/, python/, etc.). I hope this helps!
