Depfu

For some time, I have updated the projects manually, however this became way too time consuming. Enter depfu, a free (for open source projects) service that keeps your project's dependencies up-to-date by proposing pull requests (PRs) whenever there's a new dependency version. Renovate is a similar service, and would work the same for the purpose of this tutorial. Depfu has made my life much easier – it automatically creates PRs and the only job left for me is to approve and merge the PR. This is all well and good, however with many projects, even this process becomes tedious. Let's try to automate this task even further!
