Hi there

I luckily stumbled across this repo / plugins as I've personally been trying to develop a backstage plugin that show packages for a repo / entity, with current versions and latest versions. I was looking to use the rennovate sidecar to generate a report and then parse the data from it, so it could be displayed in backstage, but then I found this repo.

Unfortunately, I see that it is in very early alpha. I was wondering if I could help contribute to the project at all and what the steps would be for it. Would it be possible to put some docs together on how to work with the repo and be able to contribute?

I cloned the repo, but when I do a yarn install in the root, I get a lot of warnings about depreciated packages and having to select versions of packages, and what not...

$ yarn install
yarn install v1.22.22

Manage to get yarn install working, just needed to use corepack (I'm still fairly new to js/typescript)

Yes, you need yarn v4. Corepack manages this for you based on the package.json, but I recommend to use volta which sets up your NodeJS version too.

Since I already have this discussion going, I was wondering if you could clarify something for me.

What is the purpose of this section of code? : https://github.com/secustor/backstage-plugins/blob/main/plugins/renovate-backend/src/wrapper/platforms/index.ts#L59-L72

I searched both this repo and https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate I could not find any reference to RENOVATE_GITHUB_COM. In fact, if I run the same renovate command that is generated by the plugin both with and without that env variable, the results are the same. It also didn't make a lot of sense to me that one would still need a Github token, even when using another platform, like gitlab for instance.

This is to not get ratelimited when fetching Github releases and such. https://docs.renovatebot.com/getting-started/running/#githubcom-token-for-changelogs

Ah I see, I should have been searching for the env minus the RENOVATE_

BTW this is a bug on my side it is actually called GITHUB_COM_TOKEN.
