DESCRIPTION:
Whatsdiff is a command-line tool built to help developers inspect and understand changes in project dependencies after running a package update (for Node.js with npm or PHP with Composer). Instead of just seeing version numbers scroll by, Whatsdiff allows you to compare the package-lock.json or composer.lock between commits, branches, or tags, and see exactly what changed in your dependencies—including version jumps, added or removed packages, churn, and often included changelogs. It offers an interactive Terminal UI mode for browsing these changes more comfortably, and supports multiple output formats (text, JSON, Markdown) so you can integrate it into CI/CD pipelines or documentation workflows. There is also support for commands like check to test if a specific package has changed, which makes it suitable for gating releases or alerting teams of critical dependency updates.
Features
- Analyze changes in composer.lock and package-lock.json between commits, tags or branches
- Interactive Terminal UI for browsing dependency changes and release notes
- Multiple output formats including JSON and Markdown for automation and reporting
- “Check” commands to detect if a particular dependency was added/updated/removed (useful in CI)
- Integration with MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for supplying context to AI tools or assistants
- Support for both Composer (PHP) and npm (JavaScript) ecosystems
