npm-check: Interactively update out-of-date packages.
$ npm-check --update
try on your machine

The command "npm-check --update" is used to update the dependencies in a Node.js project.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "npm-check" is the name of the package that is being executed. It is a utility package that helps in checking the status of the project's dependencies.
  • "--update" is an argument passed to the "npm-check" package. It instructs the package to update the outdated dependencies automatically.

When you execute this command in the terminal, it will scan your project's package.json file and check for outdated or unused dependencies. It will then provide you with a list of those dependencies and give you the option to update them to their latest versions.

By running "npm-check --update", you can conveniently keep your project updated with the latest versions of its dependencies, ensuring that you have the latest bug fixes, features, and improvements available.
