Made this because tracking which version of a package upgraded is humanely difficult to do. Helps developers to keep track of updated packages via git in a simplified and beautiful manner.

Features

To use

  • Make sure the lock file is open in the editor, is the active tab and has already being committed.
  • Open the command pallette (Mac Cmd+Shift+P or Windows Shift+Ctrl+P)
  • Type in Update Packages Summary and select the type of lock file you want to summarize
  • Enter the previous commit's has and the current commit's (that has your lock file changes) hash.
  • Follow rest of the prompts and it will generate summary for you

Requirements

  • Git
  • The lock file must be in a git repository
