Installation (optional)

The molt CLI can be installed globally with the following command, for example:

deno install --global --allow-env --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net --allow-run=git,deno\
--name molt jsr:@molt/cli

Alternatively, you may prefer to run the remote script directly through deno task for better security or reproducibility. For example:

{
  "tasks": {
    "update": "deno run --allow-env --allow-read --allow-write='~/.local,.' --allow-run=git,deno --allow-net=jsr.io jsr:@molt/cli",
    "update:commit": "deno task -q update --commit"
  }
}

Examples

Check for updates

Dependencies manifested in deno.json or deno.jsonc

> molt
📦 @conventional-commits/parser 0.3.0 →  0.4.1 (^0.3.0 →  ^0.4.0)
📦 @luca/flag 1.0.0 →  1.0.1
📦 deno.land/std 0.222.0 →  0.224.0

You may specify the path to the configuration file explicitly:

> molt --config deno.json
...

Or as an argument (unrecommended):

> molt deno.json
...

Dependencies imported directly in Deno modules

> molt deps.ts
📦 @conventional-commits/parser 0.3.0 →  0.4.1
📦 @luca/flag 1.0.0 →  1.0.1
📦 deno.land/std 0.222.0 →  0.224.0

You may omit the arguments and let molt collect dependencies from all modules under the current directory if you do NOT manifest any dependency in deno.json or deno.jsonc:

> molt
...

Write changes to files

> molt --write
...

Commit changes to git

> molt --commit
...
