+
+To keep your flecs dependency up to date with [Renovate](https://docs.renovatebot.com/) + CI, make sure to declare the version attribute of the `bazel_dep`.
+Due to a bit of laziness, Renovate doesn't discover bzlmod dependencies without the `version` attribute. 
+The actual number doesn't matter, and it will create pull requests to update the commit.
+
+```bazel
+bazel_dep(name = "flecs", version = "0.0.0")
+git_override(
+    module_name = "flecs",
+    remote = "https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs.git",
+    commit = "02c8c2666b22ccce5706c8f16efaf813704fe31e",
+)
+```
+
+If you use a merge queue for managing CI, you can configure Renovate to automatically kick off your CI and automerge for the dependency update with the following in your `.github/renovate.json5`
+
+```json5
+{
+  "extends": ["config:base"],
+  "dependencyDashboard": true,
+
+  "automerge": true,
+  "automergeType": "pr-comment", // have Renovate leave a comment to kick off CI + merge
+  "automergeComment": "/trunk merge" // the comment to leave
+}
+```
