Grouped Dependabot alert notifications

We now group multiple Dependabot alerts together if they're discovered at the same time. This significantly reduces the volume of Dependabot alert notifications that users receive.

A user with admin permissions to a repository or who has been granted access to a repository's Dependabot alerts will receive a notification regarding Dependabot alerts when:

  • Dependabot is first enabled on a repository.
  • Vulnerable dependencies are added to a repository.
  • A new vulnerability is discovered and added to GitHub's Advisory Database. This will send a notification including all repositories in an organization.

The new notification format is automatically enabled for repositories where you receive Dependabot alert notifications. These apply to email, web, and mobile notifications.

Dimmed theme beta for GitHub.com

A dimmed theme, with a more subdued UI with a little less contrast than our dark mode theme, is now available to all GitHub.com users as a public beta. This update also includes new appearance settings to give you more control over which theme displays during the day and night. Opt-in to the beta by enabling the theme in your Feature Preview settings, located in the profile menu dropdown. Once the Feature Preview has been enabled, navigate to the "Appearance" tab in your profile settings to choose your preferred theme setting.
