## Why to write depu

When I maintain [go-zero](https://github.com/zeromicro/go-zero), I often need to check if any updates on my dependencies.

Some advantages on keeping up-to-date:

- get more features

- known bugs or security issues get fixed

- not breaking for deprecated usages on must upgrade

And `go list` lists all the dependent packages for both direct and indirect usages, and `Indirect` fields always telling true. For details, check this issue: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40364

## Design ideas

- use `go list -u -m -json all` to get all the available updates for both direct and indirect usages.

- parse local `go.mod` to get directly required packages.

- only display the availabe updates for directly required packages.

## Installation

```shell

$ go install github.com/kevwan/depu@latest

```

## How to use

In the directory of `go.mod`, run the following command:

```shell

$ depu

```

Results look like below if there are available updates:
