CLI Usage
Flags
Configuration
Specify path to config file (bunfig.toml)
Use a specific registry by default, overriding .npmrc, bunfig.toml and environment variables
Lockfile Management
Write a yarn.lock file (yarn v1)
Don't update package.json or save a lockfile
Save to package.json (true by default)
Disallow changes to lockfile
Save a text-based lockfile
Generate a lockfile without installing dependencies
Dependency Management
Don't install devDependencies
Always request the latest versions from the registry & reinstall all dependencies
Skip lifecycle scripts in the project's package.json (dependency scripts are never run)
Add to trustedDependencies in the project's package.json and install the package(s)
Exclude 'dev', 'optional', or 'peer' dependencies from install
Caching and Verification
Store & load cached data from a specific directory path
Ignore manifest cache entirely
Skip verifying integrity of newly downloaded packages
Logging and Output
Excessively verbose logging
Installation Behavior
--concurrent-scripts=<val>
Maximum number of concurrent jobs for lifecycle scripts (default 5)
--network-concurrency=<val>
Maximum number of concurrent network requests (default 48)
Platform-specific optimizations for installing dependencies. Possible values: "clonefile" (default), "hardlink", "symlink", "copyfile"
Security and Certificates
Provide a Certificate Authority signing certificate
The same as `--ca`, but is a file path to the certificate
Filtering
Display outdated dependencies for each matching workspace
Examples
Display outdated dependencies in the current workspace.
bun outdated
Use --filter to include more than one workspace.
bun outdated --filter="*"
bun outdated --filter="./app/*"
Filter dependencies with name patterns.
bun outdated jquery
bun outdated "is-*"
