Dependabot-core: Dump config.yml

[iwata]

I'm exciting about this announcement!
https://dependabot.com/blog/introducing-config-files/

On the other hand, I want a means to easily switch to config.yml. So I want the feature to dump the current configuration as it.

@iwata yes agreed, we're planning on adding this feature soon!

@feelepxyz
Have you made any progress?

[feelepxyz]

@iwata sorry haven't managed to get to this yet, we've been busy working on making our existing languages more robust and have a few other big projects planned before I'll get to this unfortunately.

@iwata I recorded what is being sent to https://api.dependabot.com/update_configs/ when clicking the "Update settings" button in the Dependabot dashboard:

With the information above it would be possible to generate a JSON to YML generator which respects the Dependabot config files format.
