Intro

This CLI provides a temporary fix for: https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8641

Namely, it allows you to run a command at the top of your pnpm workspaces monorepo which updates all of the catalog dependencies.

Features

• Uses internal pnpm packages so config and dependency resolution are as close to the official pnpm version as possible
• Formatting and yaml comments are preserved
• By default, follows current version ranges but supports the --latest (-L) option as well
• Optionally target specific catalogs or specific packages (by default all catalogs and packages will be updated)

Install

npm install -g pnpm-update-catalogs

Or you can just run it from npm:

npx pnpm-update-catalogs --help

Usage

pnpm-update-catalogs

Usage:
  pnpm-update-catalogs [flags...] [pkg...]

Flags:
  -c, --catalogs <string>        Update specific catalogs (by default, all catalogs will be updated)
  -h, --help                     Show help
  -L, --latest                   Update all catalogs to the latest version
  -V, --verbose                  Verbose output

You can optionally pass an array of catalog packages to update.

[!NOTE] Make sure you run pnpm install after updating your workspace file for the updated catalog packages to actually be installed.

Example: Update specific packages to latest

npx pnpm-update-catalogs -L typescript tsx
pnpm install
git diff

Example: Update all packages to latest

npx pnpm-update-catalogs -L
pnpm install
git diff

Example output after running on my agentic repo:

diff --git a/pnpm-workspace.yaml b/pnpm-workspace.yaml
