pkg-bump

tiny package.json dependency version bumper

This tool updates all dependencies in your package.json (including devDependencies, peerDependencies, and optionalDependencies) to their latest versions, disregarding semver. This makes it useful when reviving old projects or starting new ones from a template, where you would typically want to use the latest versions of each package.

NOTE: For flexibility's sake, the pkg-bump command does not install new versions of dependencies. Use in tandem with the package manager of your choice, e.g. pkg-bump && npm i.

$ cat package.json
{
  "name": "example",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "description": "an example package",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@rollup/plugin-node-resolve": "^2.1.1",
    "rollup": "^0.55.5",
  }
}

$ pkg-bump
devDependencies:
* @rollup/plugin-node-resolve   ^2.1.1 -> ^9.0.0
* rollup                        ^0.55.5 -> ^2.32.1

$ npm i
$ git init

Install globally using npm:

npm i -g pkg-bump
