FAQ
What are 'dependencies'?
They are like Lego bricks you use to build your software. If these bricks get old, you might need to update them for new features or security fixes.
Why is incremental upgrading important?
Updating everything at once can be risky and hard to fix if something breaks. Updating gradually allows you to test each change and ensure the project continues to work well.
What do 'breaking changes' mean?
These are changes in a component (dependency) that might break other parts of your project that rely on it. The tool helps plan how to handle these changes.
