To host the renovate config:

• config.js holds the self-hosted Renovate configuration so that Renovate knows what and how it should process.
• renovate.json in this repository ensures to receive Renovate updates.
• default.json holds the basic config for all repositories. It extends the presets by the renovate project defined in renovate-schema.json.
  • Each repository can extend/alter this config by adding a renovate.json file to the root of their own repository.
