🚀 yarn-outdated-notifier

Add link to CHANGELOG the result of $ yarn outdated, and notify to GitHub Issue.

Example Issue

Issue URL: wadackel/yarn-outdated-notifier-with-circleci#2

Motivation

yarn-outdated-notifier will help you update the npm package on which you depend.

1. Keeping fresh package

yarn has a useful toolset for updating npm packages like yarn outdated and yarn upgrade-interactive. Utilize these tool sets to visualize packages that need updating and register them to GitHub Issue.

2. Understand the changes

The problem with updating the npm package is that unintended changes destroy the project. By checking CHANGELOG prepared by each package, it is possible to solve this problem to a certain extent.

Therefore, yarn-outdated-notifier adds a link to CHANGELOG to the result of yarn outdated and notifies.

---

Since CircleCI and TravisCI have the function of cron, you can use it to make periodic package update notifications 🎉

Installation

$ yarn add -D yarn-outdated-notifier

Usage

Please access the page of Personal access tokens and issue a token. You need the scope of repo.
