I've been trying to get Renovate to work on my local machine without having to provide a Personal Access Token (PAT) while in dry-run mode or by onboarding my repo, but I'm hitting a wall. I know that to create a pull request, I'll eventually need a PAT, but for some reason, it's just not working as expected for local setups. Using the Renovate GitHub App seems so simple, but I have some security concerns about my private codebase possibly being used for training models or something similar. I've noticed that the documentation and resources on running Renovate locally are pretty limited and most attempts I've made, even with help from chatGPT, have led to numerous errors. Has anyone had success getting Renovate to work in a CI/CD pipeline or locally?

Are you referring to using their GitHub action? If so, that's a different approach. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! But I get what you mean about wanting to use it without the worry of code theft.
Definitely! It's always better to be safe with your code.
