dependency-sweep

To automate dependency updates in a pnpm monorepo, you can run a sweep to identify available updates, triage them based on risk, apply the version bumps, and validate stability using type checking and end-to-end testing.

Dependency triage categorizes available version bumps into safe, deliberate, or waiting statuses based on their potential impact and risk. This categorization controls the bumping process to prevent unstable updates from breaking the codebase.

Yes, you need bash and git alongside pnpm to execute the dependency sweep process. These dependencies provide the necessary command-line execution environment and repository version control to automate updates and validation safely.

Dependency sweep validates version bumps by running type checking and end-to-end testing after applying updates. This ensures new dependency versions do not break existing code and maintains overall codebase stability.

The best way to keep monorepo dependencies up-to-date safely is using an automated sweep and triage workflow. This approach systematically identifies updates, evaluates risk, applies controlled bumps, and executes validation to ensure stability.
