On January 20th, 2025, Dependabot will end support for npm version 6, which has reached its end-of-life. If you continue to use npm version 6, there’s a risk that Dependabot will not create pull requests to update dependencies. In that case, we recommend updating to a supported release of npm. As of December 2024, the newest supported release of npm is version 11. View NPM’s official documentation for more information about supported releases.
