pnpm outdated

Checks for outdated packages, runtimes (node, deno, bun declared in devEngines.runtime, engines.runtime, or through the runtime: / tool: protocol), package managers (pnpm, npm, yarn, bun declared in devEngines.packageManager or packageManager), Cargo crates (Cargo.toml when cargo.enabled is true), and Python packages (pyproject.toml when python.enabled is true). The check can be limited to a subset of the declared dependencies, runtimes, or package managers by providing arguments, including crate:<name> for Cargo crates and pypi:<name> for Python packages. Patterns support * wildcards, and a leading ! excludes matching names.

pnpm outdated exits with code 1 when any dependency is outdated.

Examples:

pnpm outdated
pnpm outdated "*gulp-*" @babel/core
