What is recently-updated?

recently-updated is a command-line tool that tells you which of your project's dependencies published new versions in the last 24 hours. The core benefit is simple: when your builds suddenly break or tests fail after a fresh install, this tool helps you quickly identify whether a recent update to a third-party package might be the culprit. You run it inside a project folder that contains your installed packages. It scans your dependencies, checks when each one was last published, and shows you a list of any that were updated within the past day, along with their latest version numbers and publish times. Instead of manually checking each package or digging through logs, you get a quick snapshot of what changed recently. This is useful for developers and teams who work in JavaScript projects and have experienced the frustration of a working build suddenly failing for no obvious reason. For example, if your continuous integration pipeline breaks overnight, running this tool can immediately point you to a dependency that shipped a new version hours earlier, helping you decide whether to pin an older version or investigate the upstream change. The project is straightforward and focused. The README doesn't go into detail about advanced configuration or additional features beyond the basic scan-and-report functionality. It's a small, practical utility designed to solve a specific, common annoyance in dependency-heavy JavaScript development.
