As well as pointing folks to our internal mirror of the docs site, and some pre-baked \u0026amp;quot;How do I...?\u0026amp;quot; on our internal Engineering Productivity docs, I also wrote a more in-depth version of my post above. Given it was for internal use only, I was able to tailor it more closely to our self-hosted usage, and make it more appropriate to the needs of my colleagues.\nAs part of my new role as a maintainer on Renovate and the Renovate community manager, I end up going through this workflow a lot while working to reproduce issues for Mend\u0026#39;s customers or community members.\nIn my ever present spirit of writing it as a form of blogumentation, I wanted to capture the latest setup I have.\nThis isn\u0026#39;t only useful for myself, and since November I\u0026#39;ve been promising a few users of ours that \u0026amp;quot;I\u0026#39;ll be done writing it soon!\u0026amp;quot;, but it always takes a little longer to do a post like this - especially when we have lots of other things to do on the project!\nDocumenting this process is also for me to be able to distill my process for an agent to then use, so it approaches problems in the same way that I\u0026#39;d want to - or so it could find that actually there\u0026#39;s a better way than I\u0026#39;ve been using!\nI\u0026#39;ll note that this is how it personally works for me, and this isn\u0026#39;t official guidance of the Renovate project - if it were, it\u0026#39;d be in our docs 🤓\nTL;DR I use the following config.js as my starting point:\n/** * @typedef {import(\u0026amp;#39;renovate/dist/config/types\u0026amp;#39;).AllConfig} AllConfig */ const fs = require(\u0026amp;#39;fs\u0026amp;#39;) // NOTE that filename would need to be changed based on the repo\u0026amp;#39;s config filename, or adapted to handle JSONC or JSON5 let repoConfig = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(\u0026amp;#39;renovate.json\u0026amp;#39;)) /** @type {AllConfig} */ let globalConfig = { // for instance, to simulate how the Mend Developer Platform is configured allowedUnsafeExecutions: [ \u0026amp;#39;gradleWrapper\u0026amp;#39;, ], } /** @type {AllConfig} */ let config = { ...globalConfig, // don\u0026amp;#39;t require repositories to have a `renovate.json` - i.e. if we\u0026amp;#39;re testing how a configuration will affect a new repo onboarding: false, // if there is config, ignore it, and use our local copy requireConfig: \u0026amp;#39;ignored\u0026amp;#39;, // add our repo config ...repoConfig, /* * These settings are only for repositories where you\u0026amp;#39;re running Renovate without dry-run, /and/ you\u0026amp;#39;re expecting to get many branches/PRs created * * NOTE that this ordering allows these to take precedence over repo config */ prHourlyLimit: 100, // allow lots of branches/PRs to be created branchConcurrentLimit: 100, prConcurrentLimit: 100, // and separate to these settings, we also want to allow all PRs to be created at a given time } // NOTE that this isn\u0026amp;#39;t inlined, because it can be handy to do conditional checks module.exports = config This provides a strong basis for testing, and allows me to keep my repo configuration as it should be.\nI\u0026#39;ll then invoke Renovate like so:\n# whitespace \u0026#43; comments added for readability env # ensure that we have GitHub authentication at least, so we can fetch changelogs, and access GitHub-only dependencies RENOVATE_GITHUB_COM_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) # make sure we have the right level of information LOG_LEVEL=debug # also capture the logs in JSONL (newline-delimited JSON) format RENOVATE_LOG_FILE=debug-$(date \u0026#43;%s).jsonl # use our Open Telemetry support (https://docs.renovatebot.com/opentelemetry/) to get additional insight into time taken / the flow of function calls OTEL_EXPORTED_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4318 # if I\u0026amp;#39;m running from source code ## node lib/renovate.ts # or, more likely, running for a given version: pnpx renovate@$version # a lot of the time, I\u0026amp;#39;ll use the local platform for ease, but often will run against a real Platform --platform local Depending on whether I\u0026#39;m running against a real platform or not, I\u0026#39;ll wire in the --platform argument and any other necessary authentication.\nWhy does this work for me? The below setup is useful because:\nI can run the Renovate CLI locally against a repo I can mostly run in dryRun mode I can either use a local directory (with the platform=local) for speed ... or I can use a GitHub/GitLab repo, for full confidence that i.e. the right PRs get raised I can continue to tweak the repo config in the renovate.json (or any of the other filenames) We get some editor completion from the JSDoc type hints, via, but it\u0026#39;s not as good as the JSON Schema\u0026#39;s autocomplete I can tune the global self-hosted config to allow me to test what I need, as well as mould to the organisation I\u0026#39;m running in For instance at Elastic, I\u0026#39;d wire in some secrets for authenticating to private registries, authenticate via my ~/.docker/config.json and inherit from our \u0026amp;quot;base\u0026amp;quot; configuration (that every repo was required to use), as well as override a couple of global settings Or with the Mend-hosted Renovate app, I can use the same configuration we\u0026#39;re using there in my local copy Most importantly - it gives me fast feedback and fairly high confidence that my changes will work (even more so if use a real repo, instead of dryRun).\nSurely there\u0026#39;s an easier way? Renovate works to fit within your workflow and how your dependencies are set up, rather than vice versa.\nFor most changes, you can \u0026amp;quot;YOLO\u0026amp;quot; the change and see what happens, and/or iterate over it - but as mentioned above, where it makes sense, I prefer to have maximal confidence in these changes.\nThis also gives you an opportunity to learn more about Renovate and how it works - but I appreciate it\u0026#39;s not for everyone.\nI will also say that at least Renovate does provide you the opportunity to test things out, compared to some of our competitors, where you do very much have to \u0026amp;quot;see what happens\u0026amp;quot; after you change some configuration.\nGetting started There are a few steps to get set up and running for running Renovate against a repo.\nAre we using an existing repo? Most of the time, I\u0026#39;ll test against the actual repository that we\u0026#39;re working with (and will create a feature branch locally to commit any renovate.json changes to).\nIf there are lots of dependencies or files I want to ignore, I\u0026#39;ll use enabledManagers or includePaths to hone what Renovate will process.\nBut there are cases where you\u0026#39;re working with a large monorepo, and it can be really beneficial to performance to reduce the overall size of the changes Renovate is processing, even when excluding them using enabledManagers and includePaths while using platform=local.\nIn these cases, I\u0026#39;ll:\ncreate a new directory i.e. tmp/renovate-testing in that directory, git init add the renovate.json (or as a symlink) symlink file(s) that I need to test from the monorepo, in the same directory structure as they exist git add . By keeping the existing directory structure, we can continue to use the existing renovate.json\u0026#39;s paths for Custom Managers, allowing us the maximum confidence in being able to use this with the real repo.\nUsing the Local Platform Renovate\u0026#39;s Local Platform is a great way to get faster feedback on changes, without needing a full repository pushed to a Platform (like GitHub or GitLab).\nI\u0026#39;ll prefer to use platform=local where possible when testing changes.\nI\u0026#39;ve written about the benefits before and still recommend it, even if we still have some gaps.\nConfirming Renovate version One of the things I love about Renovate is how we\u0026#39;re constantly shipping new releases 🚀\nWhen trying to test/reproduce an issue, it\u0026#39;s worth making sure that you\u0026#39;re locally running the version of Renovate that is being used by your deployment, rather than the latest version of Renovate at a given time.\n(That is, unless you\u0026#39;ve been asked by one of the folks helping debug your issue in a Discussions)\nYou can see the version of Renovate being used as part of Renovate\u0026#39;s logs:\nINFO: Renovate started { \u0026amp;#34;renovateVersion\u0026amp;#34;: \u0026amp;#34;43.56.0\u0026amp;#34; } ... INFO: Repository started { \u0026amp;#34;renovateVersion\u0026amp;#34;: \u0026amp;#34;43.56.0\u0026amp;#34; } Once we\u0026#39;ve determined this, we can use pnpx renovate@43.56.0.\n(pnpx because pnpm is what we use for Renovate, but npx works too)\nHow dry a dry run are we running? Renovate\u0026#39;s dryRun functionality is useful to be able to scope the work that Renovate will do, especially while testing.\nDepending on work I\u0026#39;m doing, I\u0026#39;ll use different dry run settings.\ndryRun=extract I\u0026#39;ll use dryRun=extract if I\u0026#39;m only testing Custom Managers, so I can validate that the right dependencies are detected.\ndryRun=lookup In the case that I\u0026#39;m testing with Datasources, or need to see what will happen with how branches are going to be created (i.e. if changing how grouping works), then I\u0026#39;ll need to use dryRun=lookup, or if I\u0026#39;m testing how Versioning works.\ndryRun=full I\u0026#39;ll very infrequently use this mode, largely because we didn\u0026#39;t yet have the ability to log the commit\u0026#39;s changes, so there\u0026#39;s no straightforward way to determine exactly what changes Renovate will make without running it.\nIf I\u0026#39;m needing to determine what changes will be made against a repo, I\u0026#39;ll end up running Renovate against the repo in non-dry-run mode (the default) which will start processing the repo.\nThen, I\u0026#39;ll review the branches/PRs created, and make sure they\u0026#39;re generated correctly.\nSetting up my config.js I\u0026#39;ll then copy in my config.js (for a mix of global self-hosted and repo config):\n/** * @typedef {import(\u0026amp;#39;renovate/dist/config/types\u0026amp;#39;).AllConfig} AllConfig */ const fs = require(\u0026amp;#39;fs\u0026amp;#39;) // NOTE that filename would need to be changed based on the repo\u0026amp;#39;s config filename, or adapted to handle JSONC or JSON5 let repoConfig = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(\u0026amp;#39;renovate.json\u0026amp;#39;)) /** @type {AllConfig} */ let globalConfig = { // for instance, to simulate how the Mend Developer Platform is configured allowedUnsafeExecutions: [ \u0026amp;#39;gradleWrapper\u0026amp;#39;, ], } /** @type {AllConfig} */ let config = { ...globalConfig, // don\u0026amp;#39;t require repositories to have a `renovate.json` - i.e. if we\u0026amp;#39;re testing how a configuration will affect a new repo onboarding: false, // if there is config, ignore it, and use our local copy requireConfig: \u0026amp;#39;ignored\u0026amp;#39;, // add our repo config ...repoConfig, /* * These settings are only for repositories where you\u0026amp;#39;re running Renovate without dry-run, /and/ you\u0026amp;#39;re expecting to get many branches/PRs created * * NOTE that this ordering allows these to take precedence over repo config */ prHourlyLimit: 100, // allow lots of branches/PRs to be created branchConcurrentLimit: 100, prConcurrentLimit: 100, // and separate to these settings, we also want to allow all PRs to be created at a given time } // NOTE that this isn\u0026amp;#39;t inlined, because it can be handy to do conditional checks module.exports = config Running Renovate \u0026#43; analysing the debug logs Once this is all set up, it\u0026#39;s time to run Renovate against the repo:\n# whitespace \u0026#43; comments added for readability env # ensure that we have GitHub authentication at least, so we can fetch changelogs, and access GitHub-only dependencies RENOVATE_GITHUB_COM_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) # make sure we have the right level of information LOG_LEVEL=debug # also capture the logs in JSONL (newline-delimited JSON) format RENOVATE_LOG_FILE=debug-$(date \u0026#43;%s).jsonl # use our Open Telemetry support (https://docs.renovatebot.com/opentelemetry/) to get additional insight into time taken / the flow of function calls OTEL_EXPORTED_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4318 # if I\u0026amp;#39;m running from source code ## node lib/renovate.ts # or, more likely, running for a given version: pnpx renovate@$version # a lot of the time, I\u0026amp;#39;ll use the local platform for ease, but often will run against a real Platform --platform local For most use-cases, I\u0026#39;ll read the debug logs as they appear on the console or in the Mend Developer Portal (if I\u0026#39;m testing with a real repo, but on our Cloud offering), searching for specific log lines I know are useful (more on that in a later post).\nI\u0026#39;ll also load them into a tool that I wrote for Renovate\u0026#39;s debug logs in particular, which allows me to read them in a similar means to what you see on the Mend Developer Platform, but for any Renovate logs.\nIn future versions of renovate-pretty-log-tui, I\u0026#39;ll also surface \u0026amp;quot;interesting log lines\u0026amp;quot; and provide a little more information that will be useful to get at-glance view for interesting metadata.\nIf I\u0026#39;m doing more significant changes around how packages are detected or what version(s) will be available as part of changes, I\u0026#39;ll use renovate-packagedata-diff to diff the packageFiles with updates log line.\nAlternatives Merge config changes and see what happens (more iterative, depends on code review \u0026#43; CI time Using Renovate\u0026#39;s \u0026amp;quot;reconfigure via PR\u0026amp;quot; flow This gives you a summary of the changes via the PR - not quite the same level of detail as we\u0026#39;re looking at with my approach above, but it\u0026#39;s a great start, and is slightly more user-friendly Writing unit tests for Custom Managers and Custom Datasources Feedback wanted How does this sound? Is there anything you\u0026#39;d like to hear me go into, other than \u0026amp;quot;interesting log lines\u0026amp;quot;? Any improvements you\u0026#39;d suggest based on your own experiences\nWould a \u0026amp;quot;worked example\u0026amp;quot; be useful to see the full process? (Perhaps even in a video form?)\nNote that we\u0026#39;re also looking for more structured feedback for specific things in Renovate that would be appreciated if you have anything to share!\n\n","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eOver the years, I've been a heavy user of \u003ca href=\"https://docs.renovatebot.com/\"\u003eRenovate\u003c/a\u003e, and I think it's fair to argue I can describe myself as a \u0026quot;power user\u0026quot;.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs someone who enjoys the faster feedback of tests, I've spent a good chunk of time honing the process of validating more complex configuration changes before they're merged - especially on repositories where CI builds can take some time, or (understandably) not everyone in the team (including me!) are happy re-reviewing \u0026quot;maybe this will work?\u0026quot; PRs.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've written about how I do this, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.jvt.me/posts/2023/07/10/renovate-dry-run/\"\u003elast time in 2023\u003c/a\u003e, but I've learned a number of things since then.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile I was at Elastic, part of my role was supporting folks with their Renovate questions.

Regular readers of the blog will know I have three types of blog post:\nBlogumentation: a blog post as a form of documentation, which are written for me, but it\u0026#39;s good if someone else gets the benefit Week Notes, which are primarily for me to process the week Blog posts I write for others to read It\u0026#39;s likely that you\u0026#39;ll be able to tell the difference when you\u0026#39;re reading my posts - a blog post for others isn\u0026#39;t tagged under blogumentation or week-notes, and is also probably going to read like I\u0026#39;ve spent a bit more time writing it and considering what I want the reader to get out of it.\nWhat impact do my analytics make on my writing? I don\u0026#39;t think my site\u0026#39;s analytics really make that much of a difference.\nI do love watching my stats going by, trying to work out where on the Internet I\u0026#39;m being talked about if a post sees a sudden increase, and love the dopamine of a spike in traffic.\nI enjoy having others read my content, and it\u0026#39;s cool that there are folks that are reading and engaging with my content, and there\u0026#39;s a group of folks who are regularly cross-posting content of mine to other sites like Hacker News (who aren\u0026#39;t me 😝).\nI used to wonder if I should write about posts that I\u0026#39;ve been getting organic search traffic for, but the post they\u0026#39;ve landed on isn\u0026#39;t quite what they\u0026#39;re looking for, but I only have so much time in this world, and my ADHD can make it hard to do things like that.\nI don\u0026#39;t think my use of analytics will change over time, and that they\u0026#39;re more of a \u0026amp;quot;huh, that\u0026#39;s cool\u0026amp;quot;

Before I get into how I\u0026#39;m using them now, it\u0026#39;s worth explaining how I got started using them.\nIn late 2024, some things were happening at work that made me feel like:\nBecause of this, I started to look around at what the job market was like (it wasn\u0026#39;t particularly great) and consider what I wanted to do next.\nOne thing that worried me - on top of the regular interviewing nerves - was that there was a lot of focus in the industry about AI usage. At the time, the word \u0026amp;quot;agent\u0026amp;quot; wasn\u0026#39;t something anyone would correlate with AI for another month or so, but there were still many areas I was behind.\nWith this in mind, I decided that a key area of interview prep would be to learn a bit more about AI and LLMs, and at least have some level of familiarity, even if it wasn\u0026#39;t enough to be a practitioner.\nI\u0026#39;d not really been using it much because I did (and still do) have environmental, legal and ethical concerns about AI usage, and at the time, chat-based interactions or in-editor code completion wasn\u0026#39;t really interesting for me.\n(In particular, I find that in-editor code completion can be particularly distracting for my ADHD)\nInstead of risking spending a load of money on a thing I didn\u0026#39;t particularly get the value from, and spend my money trying to work out exactly how the things worked, I had a better idea.\nMy (Arch BTW) Linux desktop was running an NVIDIA Titan X that I bought with my starting bonus at Capital One in 2016, and I\u0026#39;d been pondering an upgrade for the last year or so. As I game in 4K, it\u0026#39;d been struggling to hit the top settings in recent games.\nI took the chance to upgrade to the current top-of-the-line AMD GPU, which would benefit both my hobby and my work-adjacent hobby.\n(I decided not to go for another NVIDIA - because they were hella expensive, and as a way to continue to support AMD\u0026#39;s great fight against their competitors)\nLocal vs hosted LLMs? As noted above, especially when I started out, I wasn\u0026#39;t sure how best to make my prompts as effective as possible, and wanted to trial things without leading to accidentally spending a chunk of my own personal money trying to \u0026amp;quot;git good\u0026amp;quot; at the usage of AI.\nAlthough I could have used GitHub Copilot (as I had Copilot Pro as a (prolific?) Open Source maintainer) I decided that going for a local-only approach would also give me a bit more understanding of what\u0026#39;s going on, and how running on\n(Although I don\u0026#39;t have a reference to this, I remember Simon Willison mentioning a couple of times that testing LLMs out with local models are a great way to see things like hallucinations and get a feel for what the tech actually is)\nI\u0026#39;ve found that if it\u0026#39;s something that I don\u0026#39;t need to be the most accurate, or the most perfect code, or it\u0026#39;s something that I can wait for ~60 seconds before I get a response, and may need a few back-and-forths, I\u0026#39;ll use a local model.\nI\u0026#39;m also using it in cases where the questions I\u0026#39;m asking or the data I\u0026#39;m providing absolutely shouldn\u0026#39;t be sent to a hosted model provider (even if we\u0026#39;ve signed the enterprise agreement), for instance while filling in my tax return.\nWhat\u0026#39;s my software stack? Ollama OpenWebUI llm (periodically) What\u0026#39;s my hardware stack? Personal Linux desktop: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (Saphire NITRO\u0026#43;, 24GB VRAM) Work laptop: MacBook Pro M4 Pro (48GB RAM) (I opted for a Mac at work, even though I dislike them and would\u0026#39;ve loved to continue running Linux, I wanted to have the option of doing more local LLM things while at work which is easier on Apple\u0026#39;s more tuned hardware)\nI even set up Tailscale so I could use OpenWebUI on my desktop while at Batch Bunch.\nWhat works best for my hardware? I\u0026#39;ve not really done anything around actually understanding how to work out what models work best for my hardware, and instead opted for a few models I could fit in the VRAM. I had started looking into things like quantization, but put that on hold.\nI\u0026#39;ve recently seen that llm-checker and llmfit exist, which would be a nice way to automagically find out what would work well for me, as I\u0026#39;ve kinda tested a few different options, but don\u0026#39;t have any good heuristics or reasons for the model choices I\u0026#39;ve picked.\nWhat models am I using? For the most part, gpt-oss:20b is the model I use for most of my local usage, interspersed with qwen3:30b to mix things up.\nAs noted, it\u0026#39;s also very little I use local models for, which is why I don\u0026#39;t really test out many others.\nI\u0026#39;ll take advantage of OpenWebUI\u0026#39;s \u0026amp;quot;ask multiple models\u0026amp;quot; as a way to see what\u0026#39;s different between them when I\u0026#39;m happy waiting a little longer for an answer.\nIn the past I\u0026#39;ve used qwen2.5-coder and qwen3-coder.\nWhat am I using it for? (This was very interesting looking back through my chats in OpenWebUI to see what sort of things I\u0026#39;ve been asking)\nPersonally \u0026amp;quot;Can you review this job contract for me?\u0026amp;quot; Surprisingly to a lot of people, I actually read legal contracts I need to sign But I also used this when starting at Mend as a way to see if there\u0026#39;s anything else I may have missed considering a few areas I wanted it to focus on (\u0026amp;quot;risks around IP ownership\u0026amp;quot;, etc) The PDF I uploaded had a few key bits of PII in it, so I was very glad that I didn\u0026#39;t upload it anywhere else, like I know some folks do \u0026amp;quot;What murder mystery TV shows are like The Residence?\u0026amp;quot; I think a bad example, given the knowledge cutoff for the model \u0026amp;quot;Given these outputs from about:config and about:support, why is Firefox not using Hardware Acceleration?\u0026amp;quot; At work \u0026amp;quot;given JSON of this format, how would I write a jq to get these pieces of data out?\u0026amp;quot; this then was the long query in Finding missing releaseTimestamps in Renovate as I was thinking about writing an agent for Renovate config changes, I\u0026#39;d been fleshing out some thoughts on Slack, and so took a couple of my messages, and asked a couple of models (in a couple of different ways) what I should consider when doing this, or what a good starting point for the tech stack would be \u0026amp;quot;what options do I have for stacked PRs in Git?\u0026amp;quot; \u0026amp;quot;can you convert these Markdown API docs into an OpenAPI spec for me\u0026amp;quot;? as an interesting \u0026amp;quot;I wonder how it would do this\u0026amp;quot; compared to my own hand-written work \u0026amp;quot;can you review this PR for me\u0026amp;quot;, given a diff \u0026amp;quot;how would you go about solving {a given bug report}\u0026amp;quot; Looking forward I\u0026#39;m not sure if my local model usage will increase over time.\nI\u0026#39;d like to say it will, but considering I\u0026#39;m generally using LLMs for \u0026amp;quot;I would like an answer sooner than later\u0026amp;quot; or \u0026amp;quot;can you please go and implement this thing for me\u0026amp;quot; in parallel with another task, it\u0026#39;s unlikely to do that on my local hardware.\nGiven there are a few local agent tools I can use with Ollama, maybe I\u0026#39;ll try and give them a bit more of a go to compare to other tools.\nI do think there are significant risks of tying your productivity to an API that you don\u0026#39;t control, at a price point that is heavily subsidised, which is why I\u0026#39;m still working hard to keep myself in-the-loop and learning and improving.\n\n","content_html":"\u003cp\u003ePrompted by \u003cspan class=\"h-card\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"u-url\" href=\"https://jna.sh/\"\u003eJoe\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/span\u003e and \u003cspan class=\"h-card\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"u-url\" href=\"https://marcusnoble.co.uk/\"\u003eMarcus\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/span\u003e after \u003ca href=\"https://www.jvt.me/posts/2026/02/25/llm-attribute/\"\u003emy last post about AI\u003c/a\u003e, I thought I'd share how I'm currently using locally-hosted Large Language Models (LLMs), as I'd teased it a little bit in the post.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TL;DR is \u0026quot;not that much\u0026quot;.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-did-i-start\"\u003eWhy did I start?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore I get into how I'm using them now, it's worth explaining how I got started using them.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn late 2024, some things were happening at work that made me feel like:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://media.jvt.me/c641f4ec7b.jpeg\" alt=\"Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons - in a crossover episode from Family Guy - where Ralph is at the back of the school bus while Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson are fighting (offscreen from this screenshot), and chuckles and says \u0026quot;I'm in danger\u0026quot;\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of this, I started to look around at what the job market was like (it wasn't particularly great) and consider what I wanted to do next.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing that worried me - on top of the regular interviewing nerves - was that there was a lot of focus in the industry about AI usage.

This allows you to get updates sooner than later, rather than the default of receiving updates once a week.\n(There are some tweaks to this configuration that are out-of-scope for this post, like creating a specific name for the PRs, or i.e. running go generate ./... after updating those OpenAPI specs)\nFor example, you\u0026#39;ll now receive a PR like this example which is the result of running vendir sync, and shows updates to the OpenAPI specs in the repository, coming from the private repository.\nAlso of note is that the lockfile introduces commit message metadata so it knows where Vendir last synced from.\nThis works pretty nicely, and because it\u0026#39;s now managed through Renovate, you can configure the PR description, grouping, post-update actions, and scheduling with much more control than having to write that logic yourself!\nOther sources available You\u0026#39;ll notice that we\u0026#39;re specifying a ref for the git option, but if we pin to a tag version, Renovate can update those tags (and then re-run vendir sync), so you can keep files in sync between releases.\nIt\u0026#39;s also possible to use some of the other source types that Vendir supports - the HTTP backend, for instance, is what we\u0026#39;ll be using with rootly-go in the future.\nCaveats Folder structure One way with how Vendir works is that it must vendor files into a specific directory, as specified by the path fields.\nThis is a little awkward, if you already have a structure for where you want files to be, so you may want to symlink from the Vendir\u0026#39;d file to the location you want the file to be in.\nAuthentication needed As long as Renovate has a Host Rule that allows it to authenticate to the private repository, you\u0026#39;ll now see a PR like this example which is the result of running vendir sync.\n(Note that on the Mend-hosted, the way we configure these means that you need to - for the short-term - set a Host Rule for the repository you\u0026#39;re trying to access, with a GitHub Personal Access Token)\n\n","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eFor a few years, I've been trying to get a perfect workflow for keeping vendored files in sync

If you\u0026#39;re unaware, by signing on to GitHub Copilot Enterprise (not any other plans!), and someone sues you for copyright infringement due to your usage of LLMs, Microsoft will foot the bill for legal fees!\nThat\u0026#39;s pretty great, right? You get to perform copyright laundering, but if you\u0026#39;re caught, you don\u0026#39;t even have to pay to fight it in court!\nWell, this only applies if you\u0026#39;ve followed the terms you agreed to when signing the Enterprise deal by keeping records of usage of GitHub Copilot - for instance, which line(s) in your codebase are LLM-derived? I seem to remember there may also have been requirements to note the model(s) used, but I can\u0026#39;t quite remember nor confirm that.\n(Microsoft have other stipulations to follow on top of this before the indemnity kicks in - again, this is not legal advice nor exhaustive protection)\nIf we take a step back and think about the wider software engineering ecosystem - what percentage of the code written do you think will have this level of detail?\nThis is one of the key reasons I consider documenting my LLM-derived code very important.\nNote that this is my personal workflow, and both works for me, and in my opinion, will future-proof my contributions.\nHow do I use LLMs? Before I start discussing in a bit more detail about why I enforce this workflow on myself, it\u0026#39;s worth mentioning how I\u0026#39;m currently using LLMs.\nI\u0026#39;m a fair bit behind the curve, but I\u0026#39;m slowly pushing my LLM usage, giving me the opportunity to delegate small tasks (\u0026amp;quot;here\u0026#39;s a failing test, go and implement it\u0026amp;quot; or \u0026amp;quot;this code should work, go and work out why it\u0026#39;s not\u0026amp;quot;) as well as starting to trial it on implementing slightly larger pieces of work.\nI\u0026#39;ll have conversations with the LLM in the classic chat interface, using CodeCompanion.nvim, and periodically use Ollama (through OpenWebUI) running locally on my Linux desktop or my work MacBook Pro.\nAs a user of GitHub Copliot Pro (as a prolific Open Source maintainer), I was excited to see that Charm\u0026#39;s agentic tool crush landed support for using GitHub Copilot as a backend, so I\u0026#39;ve used Charm as my \u0026amp;quot;daily driver\u0026amp;quot; for agent-driven tasks for a few months now.\nI\u0026#39;ve also been doing some more with Claude Code, through access at work, so I can use Claude Code for internal codebases, and crush for my public-facing work.\nThrough my work, I\u0026#39;ll take snippets of code from chat discussions (or ask the LLM to write it directly to the files), and have the agent write changes directly to the codebase. In these cases, I\u0026#39;m still very much human-in-the-loop, and I\u0026#39;ll commit the code when I\u0026#39;m happy with it.\nI may allow agents to commit for me in the future, but I\u0026#39;ll still rewrite commit messages until I\u0026#39;m happy with them.\nHow do I attribute code? That\u0026#39;s a lot of preamble for what you\u0026#39;re interested in, right? How exactly do I do this attribution?\nInline code comments As mentioned, because I\u0026#39;m personally involved in committing the changes, and sometimes copy-pasting or implementing suggestions from an LLM, I know exactly which lines are LLM-derived.\nIf a whole function, or complex one-liner, comes from an LLM, I\u0026#39;ll document it with an inline comment i.e.:\n# Code snippet licensed under the Apache-2.0, and co-authored-by: gpt-oss:20b jq \u0026amp;#39; { # -------- missing currentVersionTimestamp ---------- missingCurrentVersionTimestamps: [ .config # ... \u0026amp;#39; This especially helps future readers be a bit more aware of the potential risk - but hopefully during code review with another human, we\u0026#39;d have teased out some of the risks and concerns with that code.\nAlthough these comments would help with the \u0026amp;quot;where are you using LLM-derived code\u0026amp;quot;, I\u0026#39;ve found that trying to keep this correct over time can be cumbersome, especially taking into account the Ship of Theseus with how changes to the code over time may lead to the original code no longer existing.\nCo-authored-by Instead of this, I\u0026#39;ve now settled on per-commit attribution to LLM model(s) that have introduced the code.\nFor instance on Renovate we use squash-merge for PRs, which means that everything in the PR will get associated with the use of LLMs. As well as helping generally to break up large pieces of work, this also has the benefit of making sure that the \u0026amp;quot;tainting\u0026amp;quot; of LLM code only exists in the smallest unit of work.\nThe way I manage this commit-level attribution for LLMs is using the Co-authored-by Git trailer.\nThis trailer has existed for many years and Git forges show the multiple authors when browsing commits that have Co-authored-by in them, which makes it slightly more visible than using custom metadata.\nAdditionally, because the trailer can add many co-authors, I can disclose usage of potentially many models used to generate a single commit of work.\nThe Co-authored-by trailer is of the format:\nCo-authored-by: $authorName $authorEmail Co-authored-by: $author2Name $author2Email\nI take advantage of this format to use the model name as the author name, and associate the email with the LLM provider. This gives me full coverage of the key metadata we may need in the future to understand what was used to create code in the commit.\nFor example, one of my recent posts included code from the local model GPT-OSS, at 20 billion parameters, and so the commit message for that blog post was:\nBlogument jq for releaseTimestamps Co-authored-by: gpt-oss:20b \u0026amp;lt;ollama@...\u0026amp;gt;\nThis tells me:\nI used gpt-oss It was the 20b parameter variant I used it through Ollama For a more complex example, we can see:\nrefactor(manager/npm): extract function for resolving .npmrc As part of future changes in #41215 and/or #41216, we will resolve the .npmrc, if it can be found, in multiple places. Before we do this, we can prefactor this logic to extract this out into its own function that can be used independently. Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.5 \u0026amp;lt;jamie.tanna\u0026#43;github-copilot@...\u0026amp;gt;\nAs you can see, this gives a similar level of information. As I\u0026#39;m using my work email, I use a \u0026#43; alias to tag it with GitHub Copilot.\nIn cases where I need to describe in more detail where the LLM derived data has been used, I can also call that out in the commit message, such as:\nfeat(util): log warning if file(s) contain hidden Unicode characters (#41353) With the rise of prompt injection, there is an increased number of attacks occurring using hidden Unicode characters. [...] The list of suspicious characters has been largely compiled by Claude Sonnet 4.5. Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.5 \u0026amp;lt;jamie.tanna\u0026#43;github-copilot@...\u0026amp;gt;\nNot a generic co-authored-by Notice also that this isn\u0026#39;t Claude Code or Crush adding the generic co-authored-by which the Go team are discussing as to whether they serve any value. In this case, the co-authored-by is more specific, and because it is associated with my email, it\u0026#39;s something that I personally can sign the CLA for, as I\u0026#39;m taking on the burden of authorship.\nWhy? I\u0026#39;m sure many of you are jumping to this section with \u0026amp;quot;yeah but why bother\u0026amp;quot;?\nFor myself I want to do right by myself.\nAs someone who prides themselves on attention to detail, I want to make sure that I\u0026#39;ve captured important metadata that may be important in the future.\nAlso, as someone who\u0026#39;s still unsure about the legal risks, and has ethical concerns, about AI usage, it makes me feel like I have some level of control.\nBecause it\u0026#39;s a small barrier to usage I\u0026#39;ve found that this is also a small psychological nudge to myself to say \u0026amp;quot;do I need to be using an LLM to do that?\u0026amp;quot; as well as considering whether the code that\u0026#39;s been provided could do with some more consideration when I\u0026#39;m writing the commit message.\nFor legal-minded folks As noted, there may be legal risks of using LLM-derived code, and I\u0026#39;d like to make sure that I\u0026#39;m doing what I can to cover myself (on behalf of the company).\nIf this ever is a need to go back and find where LLM-derived code has been used, I\u0026#39;d love to be able to say that I\u0026#39;ve made it easier for my colleagues in legal, at least for my own work.\nFor reviewers There\u0026#39;s a lot of discourse about whether disclosing AI usage can lead to a higher/lower bar on a code review by another human.\nRegardless of what others think, I think it\u0026#39;s fair to be up front with the humans who are spending time reading your code to work out whether I\u0026#39;ve suddenly forgotten how to do a for loop in the way our project expects it, or if it\u0026#39;s because AGENTS.md doesn\u0026#39;t mention that.\n(And either way, it\u0026#39;s up to me to review my code first)\nCommit-level has better longevity than PRs If the choices you have are \u0026amp;quot;document AI usage at the PR level\u0026amp;quot; and \u0026amp;quot;don\u0026#39;t document AI usage\u0026amp;quot;, I\u0026#39;d prefer you did it at the PR level than not at all.\nMy preference for my own contributions will always be at the commit level, as that gives me the most control around disclosure and tracking. But I\u0026#39;m not forcing that on anyone else, as I know that enforcing Git commit standards is a battle .\nAttributing the AI usage at the PR level is a great starting point, as projects like Ghostty have recently required, but with large projects like Zig moving from GitHub, any PR-based metadata will be lost as part of the move.\nKeeping this metadata in the commit level is the best for longevity of the project and for ability for others to review the metadata themselves.\nHere\u0026#39;s to the future This workflow works for me, and I\u0026#39;m glad I\u0026#39;ve been doing it. It gives me the ability to go back and see where I\u0026#39;ve been using AI, and I\u0026#39;m sure I\u0026#39;ll be able to do some interesting stats about number of commits I\u0026#39;m authoring with AI over time.\nI\u0026#39;m sure this workflow may change over time, especially as I lean on AI tools more in the future, and I\u0026#39;m sure this post will be later revisited as a (2027 edition) or (winter 2026 edition).\nDoes this make you stop and think about how you\u0026#39;re using AI? About some of the potential legal issues you weren\u0026#39;t aware of, and how you may want to consider future-proofing your contributions going forwards?\n\n","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eAs I've written about before, I'm a \u003ca href=\"https://www.jvt.me/posts/2026/01/23/agentic-renovate/\"\u003eself-described \u0026quot;cautious skeptic\u0026quot; of AI and Large Language Models\u003c/a\u003e, and I'm trying to do more with AI where makes sense.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing I've noticed I do differently to other users of AI-generated code is that I work hard to document usage of AI tools much more visibly than other folks, going as far as documenting this at the commit level.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis may be because \u003ca href=\"https://www.jvt.me/posts/2024/07/12/things-know-commits/\"\u003eI have thoughts about Git commits\u003c/a\u003e, but also comes from \u003ca href=\"https://www.jvt.me/posts/2025/11/17/llm-oss/\"\u003ethe still unknown legal risks of using AI-generated code\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile at Elastic, I was part of the Open Source Working Group, the cross Engineering + Legal team who worked towards better contributing back to Open Source, ensuring we were well-managed with our obligations (of license compliance) and supporting Engineering leadership in the roll out of AI usage across the organisation in a way that didn't lead to any legal concerns.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Aside: I Am Not A Lawyer, and this is not legal advice)\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we were working on the rollout of AI tooling, one of the many interesting tidbits I learned about was \u003ca href=\"https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2023/09/07/copilot-copyright-commitment-ai-legal-concerns/\"\u003eMicrosoft's AI indemnity\u003c/a\u003e protection.
