bumpkg

Project Overview

bumpkg is a TypeScript-based CLI tool for upgrading project dependencies. It scans dependency declarations, checks for available updates, and writes the new version ranges back to manifest files after confirmation.

Core capabilities:

• Supports dependencies, devDependencies, and optionalDependencies
• Works with both single-package projects and monorepos
• Supports package.json, package.yaml, and package.yml
• Supports npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun project environments
• Supports catalog-based dependency configuration
• Includes only minor and patch updates by default, and enables major upgrades with --major
• Cleans up common lock files after updates so dependencies can be reinstalled cleanly

How to Use

Run the CLI in the current project:

npx bumpkg

Include major version upgrades:

npx bumpkg --major

You can also specify a target working directory:

npx bumpkg --cwd ./packages/app

Typical workflow:

1. Resolve the current project or workspace configuration
2. Collect supported dependency declarations
3. Display the list of available updates
4. Write updated version ranges back after confirmation
5. Remove common lock files such as package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, bun.lock, and bun.lockb
