on GitHub

Breaking

The only breaking change in v18 is with the -g/--global flag.

npm-check-updates -g will now auto-detect your package manager based on the execution path. Previously, it defaulted to npm.

• yarn dlx ncu -g --packageManager yarn → yarn dlx ncu -g
• pnpm dlx ncu --global --packageManager pnpm → pnpm dlx ncu -g
• bunx ncu -g--packageManager pnpm → bunx ncu -g

If for some reason you were running ncu -g with an alternative package manager and relying on it checking the global npm packages, you will need to now explicitly specify npm:

• ncu -g → ncu -g--packageManager npm

Thanks to @LuisFerLCC for the improvement (#1514).
