 ### Allowing Dependabot to access private repositories
 
-{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} can check for outdated dependency references in a project and automatically generate a pull request to update them. To do this, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} must have access to the targeted dependency files. By default, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} can't update dependencies that are located in private repositories. However, if a dependency is in a private {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} repository within the same organization as the project that uses that dependency, you can allow {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} to update the version successfully by giving it access to the host repository. For more information, including details of limitations to private dependency support, see "[About Dependabot version updates](/github/administering-a-repository/about-dependabot-version-updates)."
