upd

A fast dependency updater for Python, Node.js, Rust, and Go projects, written in Rust.

Features

• Multi-ecosystem: Python, Node.js, Rust, and Go dependencies
• Fast: Parallel registry requests for all dependencies
• Constraint-aware: Respects version constraints like >=2.0,<3
• Smart caching: 24-hour version cache for faster subsequent runs
• Update filters: Filter by --major, --minor, or --patch updates
• Major warnings: Highlights breaking changes with (MAJOR)
• Format-preserving: Keeps formatting, comments, and structure
• Pre-release aware: Updates pre-releases to newer pre-releases
• Gitignore-aware: Respects .gitignore when discovering files

upd --patch      # Show only patch updates

# Combine filters
upd --major --minor  # Show major and minor updates only

Commands

upd version

# Check for upd updates
upd self-update

Example Output

pyproject.toml
  Would update requests 2.28.0 → 2.31.0
  Would update flask 2.2.0 → 3.0.0 (MAJOR)

Cargo.toml
  Would update serde 1.0.180 → 1.0.200
  Would update tokio 1.28.0 → 1.35.0

Would update 4 package(s) in 2 file(s), 15 up to date

Version Constraints

upd respects version constraints in your dependency files:

Caching

Version lookups are cached for 24 hours in:

• macOS: ~/Library/Caches/upd/versions.json
• Linux: ~/.cache/upd/versions.json
• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\upd\versions.json

Use upd clean-cache to clear the cache, or upd --no-cache to bypass it.
