What does depsup do?

depsup is a CLI tool that automates dependency updates across your entire workspace:

1. 🔍 Auto-detects your environment

   • Finds workspace root (supports pnpm, yarn, bun workspaces)
   • Identifies package manager (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun) via lock files

2. 🚀 Updates Nx (if present)

   • Runs nx migrate latest
   • Applies migrations automatically
   • Skips if Nx isn't in your project

3. 📦 Updates all dependencies

   • Root package.json first
   • Then all packages in packages/ directory
   • Skips directories without package.json
   • Works in monorepos and single-package projects

4. 🎯 Two modes

   • Interactive (default): Choose which dependencies to update
   • Auto (-y): Update everything automatically

Built with Commander.js and powered by npm-check-updates under the hood.

Installation

# Using npm
npm install -g depsup

# Using pnpm
pnpm add -g depsup

# Using yarn
yarn global add depsup

# Using bun
bun add -g depsup

Or use directly without installation:

npx depsup
pnpm dlx depsup
yarn dlx depsup
bunx depsup

Usage

# Interactive mode (default) - choose which dependencies to update
depsup

# Auto mode - update all dependencies automatically
depsup -y
depsup --yes
