✨ git-pkgs-freshness(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to git-pkgs freshness — it's giving "are my deps actually keeping up or are they rotting in the group chat" 💅 this one lives in the Git Pkgs Manual, and honestly? it's lowkey one of the most useful vibes in the whole toolkit.

🌸 NAME 🌸

git-pkgs-freshness — literally shows you the release freshness metrics. that's it, that's the whole mood 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

git-pkgs freshness [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea: this command compares the dependency versions you've got installed against the latest published versions out there in the wild. iconic ✨

It reports how many days your dependencies are lagging behind their latest releases, and then it lists out the packages with the biggest release-date lag — like a little leaderboard of "who's been ghosting their updates the longest" 😭👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -b, --branch="" — which branch to query (default is the current branch, no cap) 🌿
• -c, --commit="" — check your dependencies at a specific commit instead (defaults to HEAD) 💫
• -e, --ecosystem="" — filter by ecosystem, so you can focus on just one vibe 🧚
• -f, --format="text" — output format, bestie: text or json 🍓
• -h, --help[=false] — help for freshness, for when you just need a lil reminder 🫶
• -n, --limit=10 — number of lagging dependencies to show (default 10, so the top ten slackers) 💀

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones come from the parent command, so they're just... already here, living rent free:

• --color="auto" — when to colorize output: auto, always, never 🌈
• --include-submodules[=false] — include git submodules when scanning for manifests 👀
• -p, --pager[=false] — use pager for output 📜
• -q, --quiet[=false] — suppress non-essential output, for the lowkey girlies 🤫

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• git-pkgs(1) — the main character, go say hi 🫡
