## What it is
updtr is a CLI tool that updates outdated npm dependencies by installing the latest version and running your test suite for each one, rolling back updates that break tests. It supports both npm and yarn and saves successful updates back to package..

## Use cases
- update outdated npm dependencies safely
- automatically roll back dependency updates that break tests
- upgrade packages to latest or non-breaking versions
- keep package. versions in sync with tested updates
- batch-update dependencies in a yarn project

## When to choose
- you want automated, test-verified dependency updates without manual trial and error
- your project uses npm or yarn with a lockfile and a runnable test command
- you prefer a simple one-shot CLI over CI-integrated bots like Renovate or Greenkeeper

## When to avoid
- your project has no test suite, since updates cannot be verified
- you need scheduled or automated pull-request-based updates (use Renovate or Dependabot)
- you use package managers other than npm or yarn
