+# Auto-merge configuration for Dependabot PRs
+# This file configures which dependency updates should be merged automatically.
+
+# Configure here which dependency updates should be merged automatically.
+# The recommended configuration is the following:
+- match:
+    # Merge patch updates for production dependencies
+    dependency_type: production
+    update_type: 'semver:patch'
+- match:
+    # Merge patch and minor updates for development dependencies
+    dependency_type: development
+    update_type: 'semver:minor'
+
+# The syntax is based on the legacy dependabot v1 automerged_updates syntax, see:
+# https://dependabot.com/docs/config-file/#automerged_updates
+
+# IMPORTANT: Hierarchical matching applies:
+# - semver:patch → only patch updates (e.g., 1.0.0 → 1.0.1)
+# - semver:minor → patch AND minor updates (e.g., 1.0.0 → 1.0.1 or 1.0.0 → 1.1.0)
+# - semver:major → patch, minor, AND major updates (all version changes)
+
+# Additional examples:
+
+# Allow all patch updates only (both production and development):
+# - match:
+#     update_type: 'semver:patch'
+
+# Allow patch and minor updates for development dependencies:
+# - match:
+#     dependency_type: development
+#     update_type: 'semver:minor'
+
+# Allow all updates (patch, minor, and major) for development dependencies:
+# - match:
+#     dependency_type: development
+#     update_type: 'semver:major'
