"Renovate Mirrors" is a GitHub org that lets you fully "dry run" a (public) project.

Here's how it works:

• Submit an issue to this repository (renovate-mirrors/admin) suggesting that a repository be added. You do not need to be the owner because we're doing nothing that the public can't already do

• We will (manually) fork the repository into the @renovate-mirrors organization

• Renovate will onboard this repository like usual

• The onboarding PR can be updated/edited like usual, producing an updated onboarding PR decription

• The onboarding PR will be merged into a renovate-config branch instead of master

• Renovate will keep the master branch of the fork in sync with master of the source repository, so that the updates in the fork are always compared against the very latest in the source repository

• Renovate PRs will be raised entirely within the forked repository, and not the source

• If you wish, you can manually create PRs from the mirror repository's branch into the source repository

So the main differences are:

2. You won't see your usual test suites run, because of (1)
