Update dependencies with command line?

[Jarrodsz]

I was wondering if there is some way to update npm packages across multiple /packages
For example a packages core/auth has the same dependencies for dev like many other packages:

  "name": "@core/auth",
  "description": "Authentication",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "main": "./dist/index.js",
  "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",
  "module": "./dist/index.mjs",
  "files": [
    "dist/**"
  ],
  "license": "MIT",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "tsup src/index.tsx --format esm,cjs --dts --external react",
    "dev": "tsup src/index.tsx --format esm,cjs --dts --external react",
    "clean": "rm -rf dist",
    "typecheck": "tsc --project ./tsconfig.json --noEmit"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "remix-auth": "latest",
    "remix-auth-socials": "latest",
    "remix-auth-twitter": "latest"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@core/tsconfig": "*",
    "@types/node": "^18.16.0",
    "@types/react": "^18.0.28",
    "@types/react-dom": "^18.0.11",
    "concurrently": "^7.6.0",
    "@core/eslint-config-vite": "*",
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "rimraf": "^5.0.0",
    "tsup": "^6.7.0",
    "tsx": "^3.12.6",
    "typescript": "^5.0.4"
  }
}

Is there a command to update all packages across all packages?

[Jarrodsz]

To add i have like 5/6 packages and there is a lot of duplicate dev dependencies for each of them defining the same devDependencies block in all of them is there a way to have this more dry since it seems quite logical if one needs to update packages manually one forget or one gets version number discrepancies.

Standard upgrade with pnpm

Hello, I usually do an upgrade with the recursive flag from the root of my monorepo

pnpm upgrade --interactive --latest --recursive

Then you get to select which packages to upgrade, for example:

Scope: all 6 workspace projects
? Choose which packages to update (Press <space> to select, <a> to toggle all, <i> to invert selection) …
  ● @types/node (dev)                      18.15.13 ❯ 18.16.3
  ● @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin (dev)   5.59.0 ❯ 5.59.2
  ● @typescript-eslint/parser (dev)          5.59.0 ❯ 5.59.2
❯ ○ jose                                     4.14.1 ❯ 4.14.4
  ● prettier (dev)                            2.8.7 ❯ 2.8.8
  ● vite (dev)                                4.3.1 ❯ 4.3.4
  ● yargs                                    17.7.1 ❯ 17.7.2

Enter to start updating. Ctrl-c to cancel.

Here @typescript-eslint/parser is a dev dependencies in 6 packages and will be upgraded everywhere.

With manypkg

https://github.com/Thinkmill/manypkg is an awesome tool that you can install at the root with -w flag and that will check and fixes mismatching package versions in underlying packages.

I thought it must be simple but could not figure it out searched the wrong keywords, thank you very much Phil and also for this repro it has been a tremendous help so far.
