This attempts to fix our dependabot issue but I am not sure what the best way to test this is other than committing it and seeing what happens. Problem (as I understand it, may be incorrect): Dependabot wants to update deps in src.gen/, but this is managed separately and can cause things to break. There is no exclude dirs option in dependabot. So, we limit the dependabot to packages/core only which doesn't paint the full picture of all of our dependencies AND since this is a monorepo where the package-lock.json lives in the root, it cannot be updated. This effectively bricks dependabot and makes the PRs nothing more than a reminder. Solution: Use this 'workaround' to exclude a directory so that dependabot can update the deps of all of our subprojects and the root directory without touching src.gen/. Hack from: dependabot/dependabot-core#4364 MAY have to follow up with `versioning-strategy: 'increase'`, see dependabot/dependabot-core#4993
