Notifications about app dependencies updates
Is there any good tool to track dependency updates for elixir apps on github?
For Ruby i used to use Gemnasium, it was very good. I can’t find anything like that for Elixir. I don’t like Dependabot because it automatically generates PRs for each dependency update, and there is no option to skip PR and just send a notification. Notifications is all i need

If you run mix hex.outdated it will show a list of dependencies, what version you have and the latest version available.
Maybe you could rig a script to parse that on a schedule and send notifications out when current != latest. I could see something like that being doable with cron and ~100 lines of Bash.

They’ll all be closed once you update. No matter the amount of commits it took.

Those PR’s are the notifications, how else would you expect to get them? It will even auto-close them if you update manually as well.

Precisely, and the bot keeps the PR updated with the latest commits as well, and will close it if you yourself manually update.
