 ## Why
 
-- Creates or updates Pull Requests for each dependency that needs updating
-- Discovers and processes all `package.json` files in repository (supports monorepo architecture)
-- Supports multiple major versions per-dependency at once
-- Configurable via file, environment, CLI, and `package.json`
-- Supports `yarn.lock` and `package-lock.json` files
-- Supports GitHub and GitLab
-- Open source and can be self-hosted

 You need to select a repository user for `renovate` to assume the identity of, and generate a Personal Access Token. It's recommended that you use a dedicated "bot" account for this to avoid user confusion.

+You can find instructions for GitLab [here](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/README.html#personal-access-tokens).
 
 This token needs to be configured via file, environment variable, or CLI. See [docs/configuration.md](docs/configuration.md) for details.
 The simplest way is to expose it as `GITHUB_TOKEN` or `GITLAB_TOKEN`.

+Run `renovate --help` for usage details.
 
 Note: The first time you run `renovate` on a repository, it will not upgrade any dependencies. Instead, it will create a Pull Request (Merge Request if GitLab) called 'Configure Renovate' and commit a default `renovate.json` file to the repository. This PR can be close unmerged if the default settings are fine for you. Also, this behaviour can be disabled if you set the `onboarding` configuration option to `false` before running.
