dotnet-updatr 1.1.0

dotnet-updatr

Dotnet tool for updating package reference and dotnet-tools.json.

The tool will try to stick to package versions that is supported by the projects target framework.

See UpdatR for SDK.

Installation

> dotnet tool install --global dotnet-updatr

Basic Usage

To update all *.csproj and dotnet-tools.json recursivly:

> update

If you only want to update the *.csproj and dotnet-tools.json that is part of a solution you can specifiy the solution directly:

> update path/to/solution.sln

You can also update a single *.csproj or dotnet-config.json:

> update path/to/example.csproj

If you want to preview the result you can do a dry run:

> update --dry-run

For larger solutions with multiple packages the console output is not optimal. You can choose to view the result in your default browser instead:

> update --browser

If you don't want to update a package or packages you can exclude them:

> update --exclude-package Microsoft.* --exclude-package Newtonsoft.*

As part of CI/CD

You can get the output as a markdown by setting a path for the output:

> update --output path/to/output/folder

It's possible to get the title and the rest of the output as separate .md-files which is helpful when creating a pull request:

> update --title path/to/title.md --description path/to/description.md

then you can use title.md as the title for your pull request and description.md as the body.

UpdatR is used to update it's own dependencies, have a look at Build.cs for an example that uses Bullseye and SimpleExec. However, if you are using C# in your CI/CD pipeline it's probably easier to just use UpdatR directly instead. That's the package that powers dotnet-updatr under the hood.
