To update all dependencies to the latest version: terminal

bun update

To update a specific dependency to the latest version: terminal

bun update [package]

​--interactive For a more controlled update experience, use the --interactive flag to select which packages to update: terminal

bun update --interactive
bun update -i

This launches an interactive terminal interface that shows all outdated packages with their current and target versions. You can then select which packages to update. ​Interactive Interface The interface displays packages grouped by dependency type:

? Select packages to update - Space to toggle, Enter to confirm, a to select all, n to select none, i to invert, l to toggle latest

dependencies Current Target Latest
□ react 17.0.2 18.2.0 18.3.1
□ lodash 4.17.20 4.17.21 4.17.21

devDependencies Current Target Latest
□ typescript 4.8.0 5.0.0 5.3.3
□ @types/node 16.11.7 18.0.0 20.11.5

optionalDependencies Current Target Latest
□ some-optional-package 1.0.0 1.1.0 1.2.0

Sections: Packages are grouped under section headers: dependencies, devDependencies, peerDependencies, optionalDependencies Each section shows column headers aligned with the package data Columns: Package: Package name (may have suffix like dev, peer, optional for clarity) Current: Currently installed version Target: Version that would be installed (respects semver constraints) Latest: Latest available version ​Keyboard Controls Selection: Space: Toggle package selection Enter: Confirm selections and update a/A: Select all packages n/N: Select none i/I: Invert selection Navigation: ↑/↓ Arrow keys or j/k: Move cursor l/L: Toggle between target and latest version for current package Exit: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D: Cancel without updating ​Visual Indicators ☑ Selected packages (will be updated) □ Unselected packages > Current cursor position Colors: Red (major), yellow (minor), green (patch) version changes Underlined: Currently selected update target ​Package Grouping Packages are organized in sections by dependency type: dependencies - Regular runtime dependencies devDependencies - Development dependencies peerDependencies - Peer dependencies optionalDependencies - Optional dependencies Within each section, individual packages may have additional suffixes ( dev, peer, optional) for extra clarity. ​--recursive Use the --recursive flag with --interactive to update dependencies across all workspaces in a monorepo: terminal

bun update --interactive --recursive
bun update -i -r

This displays an additional “Workspace” column showing which workspace each dependency belongs to. ​--latest By default, bun update will update to the latest version of a dependency that satisfies the version range specified in your package.json. To update to the latest version, regardless of if it’s compatible with the current version range, use the --latest flag: terminal

bun update --latest

In interactive mode, you can toggle individual packages between their target version (respecting semver) and latest version using the l key. For example, with the following package.json: package.json

{
"dependencies": {
"react": "^17.0.2"
}
}

bun update would update to a version that matches 17.x. bun update --latest would update to a version that matches 18.x or later. ​CLI Usage terminal

bun update package> version>
