Gatsby: Set a sane schedule on Renovate

[sidharthachatterjee]

Renovate is fantastic but because of our config at the moment, we get several updates in a day.

We should probably do two things

• batch all minor updates in a single PR
• schedule them at a reasonable time (twice a week, perhaps at 10 am GMT)

This should go in config at https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/master/renovate.json

Documentation for options is at https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/

@FailedSitcom It looks like @fboechats opened a PR doing the second point. Do you want to open another PR doing the first?

[sidharthachatterjee]

Will likely need something like this

https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/commit/c087a89aaac5a8281a7742d60fc883d0ae554ca7#diff-76e62915fba4048ac877a875e2e3b8d2

[FailedSitcom]

@sidharthachatterjee I'd be glad to! Will submit a PR later today

[FailedSitcom]

@sidharthachatterjee would you like a rule like the one before to exclude the same/equivalent patterns ("^react", "^@babel/", "^eslint")? Or are absolutely all minor versions to be grouped in this rule?

Can we name also the PR something like the following, I always trapped into this PR because the by bot info is very small on the second line:

[Renovatebot] chore: update ...

Or something similar or a label

[sidharthachatterjee]

@FailedSitcom That was a setting I ended up setting while I was playing with Renovate and while it made sense in the beginning (for visibility into a vast set of updates when we first enabled it for packages), it seems less necessary now.

@muescha I'm not sure if adding a label or changing the title to include that it is made by a bot adds any value since one can filter by user to see these PRs (or commits)

[muescha]

yes i can add a search term -author:app/renovate to the search box everytime but github not remember this setting.

filter by eye is not that easy because the second line with username is very small to see it :( and more smaller on my mobile phone

there are this 2 kinds of PR:

chore: update ... to ...
fix: update dependency ...

this lines often get used by others users also for some PRs

if we add an marker, then it's more clear its from a bot:

[bot] chore: update ... to ...
[bot] fix: update dependency ...

or just:
[bot] update ... to ...
[bot] update dependency ...

and "no animalsbits would harmed with this change"™
