Managing Dependencies with Confidence
summary
Claims that dependency churn is solvable by automation: Greenkeeper watches the npm changes feed (300k+ packages), opens branches and creates PRs via GitHub change remote file, runs CI to distinguish in-range vs out-of-range breakage, auto-deletes or rebases related PRs, and exposes a web beta for one-click enablement. It materially cuts the manual edit/test/PR cycle and surfaces real-time breakage, while noise remains an issue addressed by using version ranges, tags, and more reliable test suites.
