Overview
PatchWave is a tool installed as a GitHub app that handles the pull requests Dependabot opens for dependency updates. It checks each update against your code, repairs whatever the new version breaks, and merges the change when it passes. The aim is to keep dependencies current without engineers reviewing each bump by hand. Because it merges code changes on its own, keep branch protection and review rules turned on.
