changepacks 📦

A unified version management and changelog tool for multi-language projects.

Overview

changepacks is a CLI tool that helps you efficiently manage versioning and changelogs across different programming languages and package managers. It provides a unified interface for managing versions in Node.js, Python, Rust, and Dart projects.

Features

• 🚀 Multi-language Support: Native support for Node.js, Python, Rust, and Dart
• 📝 Unified Version Management: Consistent versioning across different package managers
• 🔄 Automated Updates: Smart version bumping based on project changes
• ⚡ CLI Interface: Simple and intuitive command-line interface
• 🎯 Project Detection: Automatic detection of projects in your workspace
• 📊 Status Tracking: Track which projects need version updates

Supported Languages & Package Managers

Language	Package Manager	File	Status
Node.js	npm, pnpm, yarn	package.json	✅ Supported
Python	pip, uv	pyproject.toml	✅ Supported
Rust	Cargo	Cargo.toml	✅ Supported
Dart	pub	pubspec.yaml	✅ Supported

Installation

winget install Changepacks.Changepacks

cargo install changepacks

pip install changepacks
uv add changepacks
# run
uvx changepacks

npm install @changepacks/cli
bun install @changepacks/cli
pnpm install @changepacks/cli
yarn install @changepacks/cli
# run
npx @changepacks/cli
bunx @changepacks/cli
pnpm dlx @changepacks/cli

Requirements

• Rust 1.91+ (for development)
• Cargo
• Git repository (for project detection)

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/changepacks/changepacks.git
cd changepacks
cargo build --release

The binary will be available at target/release/changepacks (or target/release/changepacks.exe on Windows).

Usage

Initialize Project

Initialize changepacks in your repository:

changepacks init

This creates a .changepacks/ directory with configuration files.

Check Project Status

Discover and display all projects in your workspace:

changepacks check

Filter by project type:

changepacks check --filter workspace  # Show only workspaces
changepacks check --filter package    # Show only packages

Update Versions

Update project versions based on changes:

changepacks update

Options:

changepacks update --dry-run    # Preview changes without applying
changepacks update --yes        # Skip confirmation prompts

Publish Packages

Publish packages to their respective registries:

changepacks publish

Options:

changepacks publish --dry-run           # Preview what would be published without actually publishing
changepacks publish --yes               # Skip confirmation prompts
changepacks publish --format json       # Output results in JSON format
changepacks publish --remote            # Use remote branch for change detection

The publish command will:

1. Discover all projects in your workspace
2. Show which projects will be published
3. Execute the publish command for each project (using language-specific defaults or custom commands from config)

Default publish commands by language:

• Node.js: npm publish
• Python: uv publish
• Rust: cargo publish
• Dart: dart pub publish

Check Config

View the loaded changepacks config (from .changepacks/config.json):

changepacks config

This prints the merged and defaulted configuration, for example:

{
  "ignore": [
    "**/*",
    "!crates/changepacks/Cargo.toml",
    "!bridge/node/package.json",
    "!bridge/python/pyproject.toml"
  ],
  "baseBranch": "main",
  "latestPackage": "crates/changepacks/Cargo.toml",
  "publish": {
    "node": "npm publish",
    "python": "uv publish",
    "rust": "cargo publish",
    "dart": "dart pub publish",
    "bridge/node/package.json": "npm publish --access public"
  }
}

You can edit .changepacks/config.json to customize:

• Files/projects to ignore (ignore) using glob patterns (default: empty).
• The base branch to compare against for changes (baseBranch, default: "main").
• The default main package for versioning (latestPackage, optional).
• Custom publish commands (publish):
  • Set language-specific commands using language keys: "node", "python", "rust", "dart".
  • Set project-specific commands using relative paths (e.g., "bridge/node/package.json").
  • If not specified, default commands are used (see Publish Packages section).

If the config file is missing or empty, sensible defaults are used.

Default Command

Running changepacks without arguments starts an interactive session to select projects and create a changepack log.
