Steps a Laravel app up to the latest version one release at a time (Rector-powered, one clean git commit per step), and checks any Composer project's dependencies for newer releases, rewriting the constraints on demand. v0.1.1(1mo ago)031MITPHPPHP >=8.2CI passing Since Jul 14Pushed 1mo agoCompare [ Source](https://github.com/anilkumarthakur60/uplift)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/anil/uplift)[ Docs](https://github.com/anilkumarthakur60/uplift)[ RSS](/packages/anil-uplift/feed)WikiDiscussions main Synced 1w ago READMEChangelog (2)Dependencies (14)Versions (3)Used By (0) Uplift ====== [](#uplift) [![CI](https://github.com/anilkumarthakur60/uplift/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/anilkumarthakur60/uplift/actions/workflows/ci.yml)[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b03c0c3035b220f3ab116806679c31022951825047bc414b130683705124010a/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f616e696c2f75706c6966742f76)](https://packagist.org/packages/anil/uplift)[![License](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6efacb8dd03cdc6405c7050d7deb60ae35e2e880d0c485cb39d2397eda3184d5/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f616e696c2f75706c6966742f6c6963656e7365)](https://packagist.org/packages/anil/uplift) Two upgrade tools in one small CLI: 1. **`uplift upgrade`** — a free, open-source Laravel upgrader. Steps your app up to the latest version one release at a time, with automated code changes and a clean, reviewable commit per step. 2. **`uplift deps`** — a dependency updater for **any** PHP project. Checks every dependency for releases newer than your constraints allow, and rewrites `composer.json` when you ask it to. > Repo: `github.com/anilkumarthakur60/uplift` · Packagist: `anil/uplift` `uplift upgrade` — the Laravel upgrader --------------------------------------- [](#uplift-upgrade--the-laravel-upgrader) It steps a Laravel application up to the latest version **one release at a time**, and for each hop it: 1. **Bumps the right Composer constraints** — `laravel/framework` plus the first-party packages you actually use (Sanctum, Passport, Horizon, Telescope, Scout, Pint, Pest, …), and removes packages that have been folded into the framework. 2. **Runs `composer update`** to resolve the new dependency tree. 3. **Applies automated code changes** via [Rector](https://getrector.com/) + the community [rector-laravel](https://github.com/driftingly/rector-laravel) upgrade sets. 4. **Prints a manual checklist** pulled **live** from the official `https://laravel.com/docs/{version}.x/upgrade` guide, plus curated notes for the things automation can't safely do. 5. **Commits the result** — one clean, reviewable commit per version (e.g. `Upgrade Laravel 9.x to 10.x`). So a 9 → 13 upgrade lands as four separate, reviewable commits on a dedicated branch. > ⚠️ **It does what can be automated — not everything.** No tool can fully upgrade an arbitrary app. Always review each commit, work through the printed checklist, and run your test suite before merging. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install it globally so you can point it at any project: ``` composer global require anil/uplift ``` Make sure your global Composer `bin` directory is on your `PATH` (e.g. `~/.composer/vendor/bin` or `~/.config/composer/vendor/bin`). Or run it from source: ``` git clone https://github.com/anilkumarthakur60/uplift.git cd uplift composer install ./bin/uplift --help ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) From inside your Laravel project (or by passing its path): ``` # See what would happen — detects your version and prints the plan uplift diagnose # Preview the changes without touching anything uplift upgrade --dry-run # Do the upgrade, all the way to the latest known version uplift upgrade # Upgrade only as far as a specific version uplift upgrade --to=11 # Point at a project elsewhere uplift upgrade /path/to/app ``` ### Useful options [](#useful-options) OptionWhat it does`--to=N`Stop at major version `N` (default: latest known)`--dry-run`Show the plan and run Rector in preview mode; write nothing`--no-git`Don't branch or commit; leave changes in the working tree`--branch=NAME`Name of the branch to create (default: `uplift/-to-`)`--allow-dirty`Proceed even with uncommitted changes`--skip-composer`Edit `composer.json` but don't run `composer update``--skip-rector`Skip the automated code transformations`-y, --yes`Don't ask for confirmation`uplift deps` — the dependency updater -------------------------------------- [](#uplift-deps--the-dependency-updater) `composer outdated` tells you what's stale, but leaves your constraints alone. `uplift deps` goes the rest of the way — it finds the newest release of every dependency **beyond** what your current constraints allow, shows you the jump, and rewrites `composer.json` when you pass `-u`. It works on any Composer project, Laravel or not. ``` cd your-project # Report what could move (writes nothing) uplift deps require laravel/framework ^10.0 → ^12.63 major · latest v13.19.0 needs php ^8.3 spatie/laravel-permission ^5.5 → ^6.25 major inertiajs/inertia-laravel ^0.6.3 → ^3.1.1 major require-dev phpunit/phpunit ^9.5 → ^11.5 major laravel/pint 1.13.0 → 1.29.3 minor ⚠ swiftmailer/swiftmailer is abandoned — consider symfony/mailer instead. # Write the new constraints, then install them uplift deps -u composer update ``` What it gets right: - **Constraint style is preserved** — `^1.2` becomes `^2.4`, `~1.2.3` becomes `~2.4.1`, `1.2.*` becomes `2.4.*`, exact pins stay exact pins, `v`-prefixes and `@stability` flags survive. OR-ranges, hyphen ranges and `dev-*` branches are never guessed at; they're listed as skipped instead. - **PHP-aware** — it only proposes releases your platform PHP can actually install (respecting `config.platform.php`), and tells you when something newer is held back by its PHP requirement. `--ignore-platform-reqs` turns this off. - **Stable releases only** — alphas, betas and RCs are ignored. - **Abandoned packages are flagged**, with Packagist's suggested replacement — even when the version itself is "up to date". - **Fast** — all Packagist lookups run concurrently.

This makes it easy to keep current with new Laravel releases: add a step, ship a release. The tool runs against a **clean git working tree** and creates a dedicated branch, so the upgrade is always easy to review or throw away. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.2+ (to run the tool itself — your target app can be older) - Composer 2 on your `PATH` - Git (only used by `uplift upgrade`, and skippable with `--no-git`) Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) The most valuable contributions are keeping the version registry accurate and extending the Rector coverage.
