### Dry-run implementation details
Depending on the source of a pipeline, the template will either perform your dependency updates (create/update/delete branches and MRs)
or [perform a dry run](https://docs.renovatebot.com/self-hosted-configuration/#dryrun) (to preview the behavior of Renovate with logs, without making any changes to your repositories).
The real dependency updates is triggered only when:
- the pipeline is started from the **web interface** (menu _Build > Pipelines_, click _Run pipeline_),
- or the pipeline is started from a **scheduled run** (menu _Build > Pipeline schedules_).
In any other case (regular Git commit or else) the template will perform a dry run.
:warning: Dry-run behavior is enabled/disabled with the `RENOVATE_DRY_RUN` environment variable.
Please don't try to override it or you might break the default template implementation.
