Configuration

Exclusion File Format

# Lines starting with # are comments
package-name
another-package>=1.0.0
specific-version==2.1.0

Version Operators

cupdate preserves your version constraints:

• package==1.0.0 → package==1.2.0 (exact version)
• package>=1.0.0 → package>=1.2.0 (minimum version)
• package<=2.0.0 → package<=2.1.0 (maximum version)

Requirements File Support

Works with standard requirements.txt format:

# requirements.txt
requests==2.28.1
flask>=2.2.0
numpy<=1.24.0
pandas

Command Line Interface

# Update requirements in current directory
cupdate

# The tool automatically looks for:
# - requirements.txt (required)
# - cupdate.config.txt (optional exclusions)

Error Handling

• Missing requirements.txt - Shows error and exits
• Network issues - Shows warnings, continues with available data
• Invalid packages - Skips problematic packages with warnings
• Missing exclusions - Continues normally, updates all packages
