How can we automate dependencies update in project with placeholders? EJS

[artemptushkin]

Let's say we have a project files with EJS placeholders, i.e. template project. We use it to generate a real project.

Does anyone have a design for how can we automate dependencies update, for example, with Renovate in the projects with placeholders?

The problem is that automated tools are design to read real repositories but not the one with placeholders

okay, my case was that we have .ejs files and Renovate simply didn't support them if you use classic build.gradle etc. files it works even if they contain placeholders
