stevensonmt / elmup

Very simple CLI tool for updating dependencies in your elm app. No safety guarantees but a backup is made of your elm.json so reversion should be simple.

I noticed updating to the http 2.0 package was modestly trickier than expected.

You just have to delete your old elm.json and then run elm install for each dependency. This tool automates that process slightly on Linux systems only.

I hope to make it a little more sophisticated in time, providing more security checks and only re-installing packages for which doing so is necessary. Right now if you run the elmup binary and then refuse to allow elm init to make a new elm.json, you'll have to manually move the elm.json.bak file to elm.json to get back your old setup. Currently elmup overwrites any existing elm.json.bak, so any interruption in the elm install process causing you to restart the program could lead to loss of your original elm.json.

IANAL, so whatever license is inherited by the dependencies I used in this project can be assumed to be the license under which you may use/modify/distribute elmup. Questions, comments, feature requests all welcome. Thanks!
