> Flexible npm dependency update tool
`updates` is a CLI tool which checks for npm dependency updates of the current project and optionally updates `package.json`. It is highly configurable and is typically able to complete in less than a second.

## Usage
```console
$ npm i --save-dev updates
```
Then, check for new updates:
```console
$ npx updates
```
When changes are satisfactory, update `package.json` and reinstall modules:
```console
$ npx updates -u && rm -rf node_modules && npm i
```
To only reinstall modules when updates are available:
```console
$ npx updates -uU && rm -rf node_modules && npm i
```
On a CI, it might be desireable to fail a build when updates are available:
```console
$ npx updates -E
```
## Options
See `--help` or below for the available options. Option that take multiple arguments can take them either via comma-separated value or by specifying the option multiple times. If an option has a optional `pkg` argument but none is given, the option will be applied to all packages instead.
