Here’s a step by step guide to using Renovate with Gitlab. These notes are based on the Renovate Runner’s documentation. The documentation is complete, but still required me to wonder how exactly to set it up. This is probably my fault, but if you’re like me, this guide will help you set it up without thinking much. Create a gitlab account for your Renovate runner Just register an account at Gitlab, eg my-renovate-bot-account.
