How do I update my dependencies with dependency-updater?

dependency-updater automates the process of updating your project's dependencies while maintaining stability and compatibility. The skill handles multiple programming languages and frameworks, automatically applying safe patches and minor version updates. For major version changes, dependency-updater intelligently prompts you to review and approve the updates before applying them, reducing the manual work required to keep packages current.

Can dependency-updater check for outdated packages across different languages?

Yes, dependency-updater is designed to work across multiple programming languages and frameworks. Whether you're managing npm packages for JavaScript, Python requirements, Go modules, Rust cargo dependencies, Ruby gems, Java Maven dependencies, or .NET packages, dependency-updater can detect and manage outdated packages in your project, providing a unified approach to dependency management.

Does dependency-updater audit dependencies for vulnerabilities?

dependency-updater includes security auditing capabilities to scan your project for security vulnerabilities in dependencies. Once vulnerabilities are detected, the skill can automatically apply fixes to vulnerable packages, helping you maintain a secure codebase without requiring manual intervention for each security patch.

How does dependency-updater handle dependency conflicts and version resolution?

dependency-updater detects and fixes dependency conflicts and version resolution issues that can arise when updating packages. If your project has broken dependencies or complex version constraints, dependency-updater can diagnose the problems and perform emergency reset procedures to restore your dependency tree to a working state.

What happens when I need to update major versions with dependency-updater?

dependency-updater intelligently distinguishes between safe updates and major version changes. While the skill automatically applies safe patches and minor version updates, it will prompt you for approval before applying major version updates. This approach balances automation with the need for human review on potentially breaking changes.

Can dependency-updater help clean up unused or duplicate dependencies?

dependency-updater provides comprehensive dependency management beyond just updating versions. The skill can help diagnose dependency problems, identify unused or duplicate dependencies in your project, and perform cleanup operations to optimize your dependency tree across all supported languages and frameworks.
