| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
Comment thread
jfrost-mo marked this conversation as resolved.
| `@dependabot cancel merge` | Cancels a previously requested merge. |
| `@dependabot close` | Closes the pull request and prevents {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} from recreating that pull request. You can achieve the same result by closing the pull request manually. |
| `@dependabot ignore this dependency` | Closes the pull request and prevents {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} from creating any more pull requests for this dependency (unless you reopen the pull request or upgrade to the suggested version yourself). |
| `@dependabot ignore this major version` | Closes the pull request and prevents {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} from creating any more pull requests for this major version (unless you reopen the pull request or upgrade to this major version yourself). |
| `@dependabot ignore this minor version` | Closes the pull request and prevents {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} from creating any more pull requests for this minor version (unless you reopen the pull request or upgrade to this minor version yourself). |
| `@dependabot ignore this patch version` | Closes the pull request and prevents {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} from creating any more pull requests for this patch version (unless you reopen the pull request or upgrade to this patch version yourself). |
| `@dependabot merge` | Merges the pull request once your CI tests have passed. |
| `@dependabot rebase` | Rebases the pull request. |
| `@dependabot recreate` | Recreates the pull request, overwriting any edits that have been made to the pull request. |
| `@dependabot reopen` | Reopens the pull request if the pull request is closed. |
| `@dependabot show DEPENDENCY_NAME ignore conditions` | Retrieves information on the ignore conditions for the specified dependency, and comments on the pull request with a table that displays all ignore conditions for the dependency. For example, `@dependabot show express ignore conditions` would find all `ignore` conditions stored for the Express dependency, and comment on the pull request with that information. |
| `@dependabot squash and merge` | Squashes and merges the pull request once your CI tests have passed. |
