How are you running Renovate?

Mend Renovate hosted app on github.com

I have a preset shared among multiple GitHub repositories with the following packageRules:

{
    "groupName": "3rd Party Dev Dependencies (Patch)",
    "matchManagers": ["npm"],
    "matchUpdateTypes": ["patch"],
    "matchCurrentVersion": "!/^0/",
    "matchDepTypes": ["devDependencies"],
},

I then have a renovate.json file in a consuming repository that extends the base. In this particular repository, I want to force all npm updates to target the develop git branch, while all other updates should target the main branch. This is my config:

{
    "extends": ["github>MyOrg/renovate-config//presets/base.json5"],
    "baseBranches": ["main", "develop"],
    "packageRules": {
          {
              "matchManagers": ["github-actions"],
              "matchBaseBranches": ["main"],
          },
  
          {
              "matchManagers": ["npm"],
              "matchBaseBranches": ["develop"],
          }
    }
}

The problem is that I'm still seeing a PR for "3rd Party Dev Dependencies (Patch)" created against "main" instead of "develop". Is it possible to achieve the behaviour I'm looking for? i.e. all npm changes should target develop and all github-actions changes should target main.

Your packageRules don't do anything. They say "if matching X and Y" and no "then do Z".

By default Renovate will update everything in both base branches. So if you want to change that, you need to add some rules with enabled=false in order to disable some. e.g. want npm only on develop branch? You need to disable them on main
