# renovate
> Keep npm dependencies up-to-date
## Why
- Creates or updates Pull Requests for each dependency that needs updating
- Supports multiple `package.json` files per repository
- Supports multiple major versions per-dependency at once
- Configurable via file, environment, CLI, and `package.json`
- Self-hosted
Inspired by the services at [Greenkeeper](https://greenkeeper.io) and [Doppins](https://doppins.com).
## Install
```
$ npm install -g renovate
```
## Authentication
You need to select a GitHub user for `renovate` to assume the identity of. It's recommended that you use a dedicated "bot" account for this to avoid user confusion.
The script will need a GitHub Personal Access Token with "repo" permissions. You can find instructions for generating it here: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/
This token needs to be configured via file, environment variable, or CLI. See [docs/configuration.md](docs/configuration.md) for details.
## Usage (CLI)
```
$ renovate --help
Usage: renovate [options] [repositories...]

-h, --help output usage information
-d, --dep-types <list> List of dependency types
-i, --ignore-deps <list> List of dependencies to ignore
