depsup

A powerful CLI tool to update dependencies in Nx workspaces and monorepos automatically.

Overview

depsup is designed to streamline the dependency update process for modern JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos, with first-class support for Nx workspaces. It handles the complexities of updating Nx itself, running migrations, and then systematically updating all other dependencies across your workspace using npm-check-updates.

Features

• 🚀 Automatic Nx Updates: Updates Nx to the latest version and runs migrations automatically (skips if Nx not present).
• 📦 Monorepo & Single-Package Support: Updates dependencies in the workspace root and all packages within the packages/ directory.
• 🎯 Smart Package Manager Detection: Automatically detects npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun based on lock files.
• 🔄 Interactive Mode: Choose which dependencies to update interactively (default).
• ⚡ Non-Interactive/CI Mode: Skip prompts and update all dependencies automatically with the --ci flag.
• 🖍️ Fancy CLI: Features a beautiful, color-coded output and a stylish startup logo.

Quick Start

Run it directly without installation:

npx depsup
# or
pnpm dlx depsup

Usage

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

# Non-interactive/CI mode - update all dependencies automatically
depsup --ci

# Specify a custom Nx version to migrate to
depsup --nxVersion 18.0.0
