Usage

# Show changelog entries for all outdated gems
$ bundler-changelog list

# Show entries for a specific group from your Gemfile
$ bundler-changelog list --group development

# Show entries for specific gems
$ bundler-changelog list --gems rake,rspec

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Ideas for Expansion

• New option: Pick the first outdated gem and show only its changelog entries

• New option: Only show a single version for each gem for gradual updates. Or even only the latest version. Or only major versions that have breaking changes.

• When run without arguments, use a TUI similar to yarn's upgrade-interactive: Show a list of outdated gems in selectable list on the left and then show the current gem's changelog entries on the right.

  --------------------|
  | Gem 1 | Changelog |
  | Gem 2 | ...       |
  | Gem 3 | ...       |
  --------------------|
  

• Implement as a Bundler plugin instead of a standalone tool.
