Flux Docsflux update
Update one or more dependencies to their latest compatible or latest available versions using Flux.
Overview
The flux update command upgrades the specified packages — or all dependencies — to their latest versions. It ensures updates are safe, deterministic, and fast, thanks to Flux's lockfile strategy.

How It Works
Scans current versions
Flux reads your package.json and compares it with the latest versions available.
Applies version rules
Flux respects semver ranges unless --latest is used.
Updates package.json and flux.lock
Ensures both reflect the updated versions and remain in sync.
Installs updated dependencies
Flux installs only the changed packages, not the whole tree.
Performance
Thanks to its smart diffing and deterministic resolution, flux update is significantly faster than npm update and yarn upgrade.
