Description

Bash script for updating Drupal core and/or contributed modules with Composer. It can be used as a GitHub action or as a standalone script/integrated into other CI tools.

Features

• perform minor or major updates to Drupal core / contributed modules
• options to exclude modules from check and/or enable Drupal core checks
• outputs Markdown table of changes as a file or environment variable
• highlight failed patches
• can be used as a GitHub action
• can be used as a standalone script.

Notes

• supported update type modes are semver-safe-update and all. All represents full upgrade between major core versions.
• Semver necessarily does not mean minor versions only (etc 2.1.0, 2.1.2).
• If you requested package as ^11.0, any release as ^11.5 is considered by this script as minor.
• The provided patch failures could be in some scenarios false-positive.
• This tool is not providing a one click upgrade - review release notes for each module, etc.
