🚀 Take the Pain Out of npm Updates
Save Time with GitHub Actions and Debricked 🛠️
If you’ve ever opened your project after a few weeks away and seen a wall of dependency warnings, you know the feeling. “Just one update can’t hurt,” you think, only to spend the next three hours fixing the one update that just broke half your app. Sound familiar? 🤦♂️
We all know that developer time is one of the most precious resources 💸 in any project — it’s like fuel in a rocket 🚀, and we don’t want to waste it on chores like dependency updates! Every hour we spend fixing outdated packages is an hour we could have spent building new features, squashing important bugs, or even getting some sleep 😴.
That’s why I decided to bring in some automation magic with GitHub Actions. This bot sidekick can handle the updates, test everything, and even run a security scan with Debricked — automatically every week. And guess what? Debricked is free for personal projects with up to 100 scans a month, so we get top-notch security checks without blowing the budget 💸.
So, grab a coffee ☕️, because I’m about to show you how to set up a workflow that saves time, boosts security, and keeps those pesky dependencies in line. Let’s get started!
