Dependabot vs Gemnasium: What are the differences?
Dependabot: Automated dependency updates for Ruby, JavaScript, Python, Elixir, Java, PHP and Rust. Dependabot helps you keep your dependencies up to date. Every day, it checks your dependency files for outdated requirements and opens individual PRs for any it finds. You review, merge, and get to work on the latest, most secure releases; Gemnasium: Parses your project's dependencies and notifies you when new versions are released or they need to be updated. Gemnasium keeps track of projects dependencies. Ruby, Node.js, PHP composer, Bower and Python projects dependencies are automatically parsed, and notifications sent when new versions are released or security advisories are published.
Dependabot and Gemnasium can be primarily classified as "Dependency Monitoring" tools.
