Repository administrators can choose runner types, labels and groups for Dependabot updates in eligible repositories.

GitHub now lets repository administrators set runner options for Dependabot version and security updates, extending controls previously available at the organization level. Options include a runner type, an optional custom label and an optional runner group, allowing jobs to use self-hosted or larger GitHub-hosted environments.

The repository settings are available for private and internal repositories on github.com, but not for public repositories or GitHub Enterprise Server. Administrators can find them in repository settings under Advanced Security and Dependency scanning, then edit Dependabot version updates. If a labeled runner is selected without a custom label, Dependabot uses the dependabot label; administrators can also choose the standard GitHub runner. GitHub says security configurations do not currently enforce these runner settings.
