$ npx @hyrious/npm-repo vite --comapre 5.0.11...latest
https://github.com/vitejs/vite/compare/v5.0.11...v5.0.12
$                                    # ^^^^^^^ resolves to GitHub tags
$                                             # ^^^^^^ resolves dist tags

You can combine usage with taze to firstly check updates in your local project, then pass into this tool to read the diff on GitHub quickly.

Browser

This package is possible to be bundled for browser but need a little hack. There's a dependency hosted-git-info which uses require('url') to parse URLs, but it is totally safe to use the native URL class in modern browsers. So you can apply this patch (it is for hosted-git-info 7.0.1):

diff --git a/lib/parse-url.js b/lib/parse-url.js
