Dependency upgrades are the worst kind of work

  • Breaking changes hidden in long changelogs
  • Migrations scattered across docs and blog posts
  • Tests fail, rollbacks are manual
  • Teams delay updates and accumulate risk

Not just another dependency bot

Dependabot hands you the chore list. Upshift explains the breaking changes and drafts the code fix; you review and ship.

Dependabot / Renovate

  • Opens PRs with version bumps
  • You read changelogs and migration docs
  • You find and fix breaking changes yourself
  • You run tests and roll back manually if it breaks

Upshift

  • AI explains breaking changes in plain English
  • AI suggests code fixes, not just version numbers
  • One command: upgrade → run your tests → auto-rollback if anything fails
  • CLI-first: scan, explain, fix, upgrade from your terminal

FAQ

How is Upshift different from Dependabot?
Dependabot opens PRs with version bumps; you still read changelogs and fix breaking changes by hand. Upshift explains why things break in plain English, suggests code fixes (not just version bumps), and runs your tests with automatic rollback if anything fails. Think: Dependabot tells you what to upgrade; Upshift does the explaining and the fixing.
How can I approve risky upgrades (human-in-the-loop)?
By default, major upgrades prompt for approval in the CLI. Use .upshiftrc.json (via upshift init) to set approval.mode (prompt / none) and approval.requireFor (e.g. major). Use -y to skip approval for a run. For webhooks and full HITL, see How Upshift does human-in-the-loop (HITL).
Do credits expire?
No. Credits roll over forever.
What happens if tests fail?
Upshift restores your last working dependency state.
Can I use my own test command?
Yes, Upshift runs your existing npm test script.
