By default, dependabot adds the "dependencies" repository label to its pull requests, but . The labeling behavior can be customized in the `dependabot.yml` configuration file, but this configuration file is for general outdated dependency updates, whereas many projects use dependabot only for security updates, which are handled by the repository settings rather than the configuration file. It does not appear that there is any way to adjust the label name via the repository settings.
The previous description of the "topic: infrastructure" repository label was: > Related to repository infrastructure This might give the impression that it is intended to be only for Git-related things (e.g., `.gitignore`), but actually this is for anything related to the infrastructure of the project (e.g., build system, dependencies) which includes, but is not limited to, Git-related things. A more general description will more effectively communicate the intended meaning of the label.

The "Sync Labels" template workflow uses a "universal" label configuration file hosted in this repository, which defines the GitHub labels that are used in all Arduino tooling project repositories.
The "topic: infrastructure" label is applied to all issues and PRs related to the project infrastructure (as opposed to the content of the project itself or its documentation). This "infrastructure" includes the dependencies, which are normally managed by Dependabot.
By default, Dependabot applies a label named "dependencies" to its PRs. This is configurable, but experience shows that is often forgotten. With the previous configuration, the "topic: infrastructure" label must be manually applied to the Dependabot PRs. The "dependencies" label is added here as an "alias" for "topic: infrastructure" label, which will automate this labeling task.
