Since our CI runs for PRs, a dependabot running our CI for a PR with each new dev version is an attractive feature."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/comments/441718010","html_url":"https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/807#issuecomment-441718010","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/807","id":441718010,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQ0MTcxODAxMA==","user":{"login":"dwieeb","id":236501,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjIzNjUwMQ==","avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/236501?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb","html_url":"https://github.com/dwieeb","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dwieeb/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-11-26T17:07:11Z","updated_at":"2018-11-26T17:07:11Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"Oh, I see.
