Set up Dependabot for automated dependency update pull requests

[SAUMILDHANKAR]

Description

We should configure Dependabot for this repository to automatically check for outdated libraries or packages and create pull requests when updates are available. This will help keep dependencies up to date and improve security and maintenance.

Tasks

• Add a .github/dependabot.yml configuration file
• Configure Dependabot to check dependencies on a regular schedule (e.g., weekly)
• Enable Dependabot to create pull requests for version updates
• Verify Dependabot is creating PRs correctly after setup

Acceptance Criteria

• Dependabot configuration file exists in the repository
• Dependabot successfully opens pull requests for dependency updates
• Updates follow repository standards (branch, PR title, etc.)

Additional Notes

Refer to the official GitHub Dependabot documentation if needed:
https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot

Tasks are only for guidance; actual implementation depends on the discretion of the developer.
