deppbot ensures that dependencies in your Ruby applications are always up-to-date. Based on your configured schedule, deppbot will bundle update your Ruby application and send the update as a Pull Request to GitHub. You just have to review and merge the informative Pull Request if all's good and wait for the next one from deppbot.

Why Update Your Apps Frequently?

You're not taking advantage of daily improvements made to gems included in your app, and your app is prone to security risks and bugs when it's not being updated frequently.

"Can't I update my application only when needed or things break?" - Yes, you surely can. However, the update could be massive and even result in regressions because you haven't updated the app in a while. Ouch.

Hence, it's just better to keep your applications updated, always.
