renovate

Keep npm dependencies up-to-date

Why

Creates or updates Pull Requests for each dependency that needs updating
Discovers and processes all package.json files in repository (supports monorepo architecture)
Supports multiple major versions per-dependency at once
Configurable via file, environment, CLI, and package.json
Self-hosted

Install

$ npm install -g renovate

Authentication

You need to select a GitHub user for renovate to assume the identity of. It's recommended that you use a dedicated "bot" account for this to avoid user confusion.

The script will need a GitHub Personal Access Token with "repo" permissions. You can find instructions for generating it here: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/

This token needs to be configured via file, environment variable, or CLI. See docs/configuration.md for details. The simplest way is to expose it as GITHUB_TOKEN.
