    Perfect day for a sunrise to sunset run (dread to think what 21st of June would be like), got 70km done. And ate some pork pie, cheddar and gingerbread men on route to keep me going!

    . Is there any default integration between dependabot and Azure DevOps (not GitHub)? It sort of suggests it at but then on this page it's mentioned under a GitHub sub-heading...and I can't find anything else...?
