uvlift 1.1.0

Interactive dependency updater for uv projects

UVLIFT

Interactive dependency updater for uv projects.

Installation

cargo build --release
cp target/release/uvlift ~/.local/bin/

If you control the PyPI name:

uvx uvlift

uvx installs Python packages, not Cargo crates. The pyproject.toml in this repo uses maturin to package the Rust binary for that flow.

Local smoke test:

uvx --from . uvlift

For "just works" installs, publish wheels for macOS, Linux, and Windows. If PyPI only has an sdist, users need a Rust toolchain.

Usage

Run inside a repo containing one or more pyproject.toml files:

uvlift

Keys:

• ↑/↓ or j/k: navigate
• Space: toggle selection
• a: select all outdated
• u: toggle only outdated
• r: refresh versions for current project
• Enter: continue/confirm
• ←: back
• y/n: confirm/cancel
• q or Esc: quit

On apply, uvlift updates the selected requirement strings in pyproject.toml and then runs uv lock in that project directory. If uv lock fails, the manifest is restored.

Scope

• Scans:
  • [project].dependencies
  • [project.optional-dependencies]
  • [dependency-groups]
• Skips dependencies managed by [tool.uv.sources]
• Supports updating only single-clause version specs:
  • ==
  • ~=
  • >=
• Fails loud on unsupported dependency specs instead of rewriting them incorrectly

Unsupported examples:

• unpinned requirements like "httpx"
• multi-clause ranges like "httpx>=0.27,<1"
• direct URL requirements
• source-managed requirements via tool.uv.sources

Requirements

• Rust toolchain
• uv
• Python projects with pyproject.toml files
