Hi @ysinghc,

Thanks for your contribution and apologies for the delayed response on your PR! 🚀

In case you're still interested in contributing towards our renovate onboarding, I've left a number of revision requests that should better match with a number of the other renovate configs we have (e.g. https://github.com/devfile/registry/blob/main/renovate.json and https://github.com/devfile/registry-support/blob/main/renovate.json).

For package managers let's start with only the GitHub actions for the initial config and we'll add additional custom managers, such as our reference to the Kubernetes generation scripts, later based on our needs (see my review comments about Go patching).
