pkgchk

organization-wide package usage comparison

This is a command line tool that will search an entire Github organization for a certain npm dependency. Any repository within the organization that depends on the package in question will be listed along with the version it is currently using so it can be compared to the most recent version available.

Usage

First, you'll need a Github access token. Any token that works with the Github REST API will do. You can start with a simple personal access token.

npm install -g pkgchk
pkgchk --help

Pass this access token in via the token flag or the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.

pkgchk [PACKAGE_NAME] -o [ORG_NAME] -t [ACCESS_TOKEN]
GITHUB_TOKEN=[ACCESS_TOKEN] pkgchk [PACKAGE_NAME] -o [ORG_NAME]
PKGCHK_ORG=[ORG_NAME] pkgchk [PACKAGE_NAME] -t [ACCESS_TOKEN]

Examples

pkgchk ember-source -o showbie
pkgchk ember-source -o emberjs
DEBUG=* pkgchk ember-source -o intercom
DEBUG=* pkgchk ember-data -o simplabs
