An interactive TUI for updating dependencies in uv-managed Python projects.

Point it at a repo, pick what to update, and uvlift rewrites pyproject.toml and runs uv lock for you. If locking fails, it rolls back.

# run directly
uvx uvlift

# or install as a tool
uv tool install uvlift

Prebuilt wheels for macOS arm64, Linux x86_64/arm64, and Windows x86_64. Other platforms build from source (requires a Rust toolchain).

uvlift

Recursively finds all pyproject.toml files under the current directory. If there's only one project, it skips straight to the dependency list.

• [project].dependencies
• [project.optional-dependencies]
• [dependency-groups] (PEP 735)

Dependencies in [tool.uv.sources] are skipped automatically.

==, ~=, and >= — single-clause only.

Multi-clause ranges (>=0.27,<1), unpinned deps, direct URLs, and source-managed deps are marked UNSUPPORTED and left untouched.

cargo build --release
cp target/release/uvlift ~/.local/bin/

The repo uses maturin (bindings = "bin") to package the Rust binary into a Python wheel, which is what makes uvx uvlift work without a Rust toolchain.

# local smoke test
uvx --from . uvlift

1. Bump version in Cargo.toml.
2. Commit the change.
3. Create a tag like v1.1.6 on that commit.
4. Push master and the tag.

git push origin master v1.1.6

Pushing the tag triggers the publish workflow, which verifies the version, builds wheels and sdist, uploads to PyPI, and creates a GitHub Release with the artifacts.
