To Upgrade or Downgrade a Dependency

We rely on Dependabot to keep all our dependencies up to date by sending automated pull requests to all our repos. But if you need to upgrade or downgrade a dependency manually you can do that locally.

To upgrade a package to the latest version in all requirements/*.txt files:

make requirements --always-make args='--upgrade-package <FOO>'

To upgrade or downgrade a package to a specific version:

make requirements --always-make args='--upgrade-package <FOO>==<X.Y.Z>'

To upgrade all dependencies to their latest versions:

make requirements --always-make args=--upgrade
