By default Dependabot only monitors direct dependencies (those specified in the Gemfile) for updates. It appears to use `bundle update <dependency>` under the hood, which means that a Dependabot PR to update <dependency> can also include updates to sub-dependencies. This makes it harder to review because the PR will only include the Changelog of <dependency> and not of the sub-dependencies. My hope is that by configuring Dependabot to monitor direct and indirect (sub) dependencies[1] we'll end up with more, smaller/easier to review, PRs. I think the same change[2] has been working reasonably well in Signon and thought it was worth bringing gds-sso into line.
