Feature description

I want to differentiate between package updates that comes from the public registry and my own private registry.
I found not a single way to do this. Except whitelisting every package name.

I have configured a private nuget feed. The dependabot searches everytime in my private and in the public feed. There is no option available to configure this. Even the dependabot metadata fetch action does not provide information about the source of the package.

I would like to create different tags and commit messages for different sources of packages.

Research direction

Start by tracing how private NuGet feeds are handled during dependency lookup and how the Dependabot metadata fetch action represents package sources. Define the required source information and its effect on tags and commit messages before identifying the relevant implementation and tests.
