What would you like to do?

I would like to group together all x.*.* updates for devDependencies, and separately group together all x.y.* updates for dependencies.

My current attempt looks like

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "config:base"
  ],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "depTypeList": ["devDependencies"],
      "updateTypes": ["patch", "minor"],
      "groupName": "devDependencies (non-major)"
    },
    {
      "depTypeList": ["dependencies"],
      "updateTypes": ["patch"],
      "groupName": "Dependencies (patch)"
    }
  ]
}

This works for devDependencies, but is not doing the right thing for dependencies. Renovate is making separate MRs for every dependency update. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to add "separateMinorPatch": true either to your entire config or specifically for dependencies, otherwise all non-major updateTypes will be treated as "minor".
