 You can configure updates for repositories that contain a dependency manifest or lock file for one of the supported package managers. For some package managers, you can also configure vendoring for dependencies. For more information, see [`vendor`](/code-security/reference/supply-chain-security/dependabot-options-reference#vendor--).
 {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} also supports dependencies in private registries. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/code-security/how-tos/secure-your-supply-chain/manage-your-dependency-security/configure-access-to-private-registries).
