Create a valid Dependabot configuration file

“

- [Instructor] Well, we've seen thus far that you need to know your YAML, that all of your configuration files in the .github hidden directory are in YAML format, and we know all about that. Specify package ecosystems, configure update rules, do exceptions, and so on. And a case study here for the CodeMix project. This is a project using Python, JavaScript, and Ruby, which, before a Dependabot, means that you've got different stacks and different collections of dependencies. CodeMix, this project, the administrators set up a Dependabot config file that has special settings, that has per language update frequencies and exclusions. This highlights the flexibility and customization that Dependabot gives us.
