# Dependabot now supports pre-commit hooks

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitHub Dependabot now natively supports automatic dependency updates for pre-commit hooks. By adding `pre-commit` as a package ecosystem in `dependabot.yml`, Dependabot will parse `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, check each hook's repository for new tags or releases, and open pull requests to update the `rev` field. Supported features include tag and SHA-based revisions, grouped updates, changelog and release notes in PRs, YAML formatting preservation, graceful skipping of local/meta hooks, and multi-host support for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and other Git providers.
