Enable or disable automated security fixes for a repository

Previously, you could only enable or disable automated security fixes from a repository's security alerts page. We understand that having to do this for a large amount of repositories is not an optimal user experience. We've heard your feedback and are pleased to announce that we have released a new set of endpoints to manage the automated security fixes setting for your repositories.

To access the new endpoints, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.london-preview+json

The first endpoint allows you to enable the automated security fixes setting:

PUT /repos/:owner/:repo/automated-security-fixes

The second endpoint allows you to disable the automated security fixes setting:

DELETE /repos/:owner/:repo/automated-security-fixes

During the preview period, we may change aspects of these APIs based on developer feedback. If we do, we will announce the changes here on the developer blog, but we will not provide any advance notice.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know!
