+# Renovate Config Repository Example
+
+This directory contains example files for creating a separate `renovate-config` repository that will run Renovate Bot centrally for all your repositories.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Create a new repository called `renovate-config` on your Gitea instance
+2. Copy these files to that repository:
+   ```
+   renovate-config/
+   ├── config.js
+   ├── .gitea/
+   │   └── workflows/
+   │       └── renovate.yml
+   ├── README.md
+   └── .gitignore
+   ```
+
+3. Follow the setup instructions in [`../RENOVATE.md`](../RENOVATE.md)
+
+## Files Included
+
+### config.js
+Main Renovate configuration file that defines:
+- Platform (gitea)
+- API endpoint
+- Repository discovery (autodiscover B4L/*)
+- Rate limiting
+- Caching
+
+### .gitea/workflows/renovate.yml
+Gitea Actions workflow that:
+- Runs daily at 2 AM UTC
+- Uses official Renovate container
+- Can be triggered manually
+- Reads config.js for settings
+
+### README.md
+Documentation for the renovate-config repository explaining setup and usage.
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- This is a **template** - copy to a new repository, don't use in place
+- Edit `config.js` to match your Gitea endpoint
+- Edit `autodiscoverFilter` to match your organization/user
+- Add `RENOVATE_TOKEN` as repository secret
+- Optionally add `GITHUB_TOKEN` for GitHub releases
