Updating the Vibgrate CLI

Keep the CLI current with vg update to check for and install the latest version, why staying updated matters, and how to confirm your installed version.

Vibgrate Docs

Vibgrate Help

This article explains how to keep the Vibgrate CLI up to date. It is for developers who installed the CLI and want the latest scanners, fixes, and formats.

Overview

Vibgrate improves regularly: new language and ecosystem coverage, scanner refinements, and bug fixes. vg update checks for and installs CLI updates so you benefit from the latest work without manually tracking releases.

Check for and install updates

Run:

vg update

The command checks for a newer version and installs it when one is available.

Confirm your version

You can check which version you are running with the version flag:

vg --version

Knowing your version is useful when comparing behavior across machines or when reporting an issue.

Why staying current matters

  • Newer releases broaden language and ecosystem coverage, improving scan accuracy.
  • Scanner and output-format improvements can change findings, so align your team on a version.
  • Fixes reduce false positives and keep CI gates trustworthy.

Updating in CI

For reproducible pipelines, prefer pinning a specific version rather than auto-updating mid-pipeline, so a new release never changes your gate unexpectedly. See the version-pinning guide for how to do this.

Related

See the version-pinning guide for CI stability and the CI integration guides for wiring scans into your pipeline.

╭──────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ Top Priority Actions │

1. Upgrade EOL runtime in node-turborepo
End-of-life runtimes no longer receive security patches and block ecosystem upgrades.
./.
>=18.0.0 → 24.0.0 (6 majors behind)
Impact: −10 drift points (runtime & EOL)
 
2. Fix security posture: no lockfile found
Without a lockfile, installs are non-deterministic. Run the install command to generate one and commit it.
./
Missing: package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or yarn.lock
 
3. Upgrade Vite 5.4.21 → 8.2.2 in @repo/admin (+2 more)
3 major versions behind. Major framework drift increases breaking change risk and blocks access to security fixes and performance improvements.
./apps/admin
Vite: 5.4.21 → 8.2.2 (3 majors behind)
./apps/api
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.11 (3 majors behind)
./packages/utils
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.11 (3 majors behind)
Impact: −5–15 drift points
 
4. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/types (100% severely outdated)
1 of 1 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/types
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
 
5. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/database (75% severely outdated)
3 of 4 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/database
@prisma/client: 5.22.0 → 7.10.0 (2 majors behind)
prisma: 5.22.0 → 7.10.0 (2 majors behind)
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
