Zero-Downtime Go Module Updates Using AI and CLI Automation
This is a submission for the Amazon Q Developer "Quack The Code" Challenge: Crushing the Command Line What I Built I built a CLI tool in Go that automates safe dependency upgrades in Go projects using Amazon Q Developer. The tool addresses the common pain point of manually updating dependencies, which is often error-prone and time-consuming due to compatibility issues. Here's what it does: Auto-scans Go projects for outdated dependencies Uses Amazon Q to generate AI-powered compatibility reports Predicts potential code conflicts before upgrading Automatically applies safe upgrades, runs tests, and opens a GitHub PR The tool streamlines the entire upgrade pipeline while integrating AI-powered risk analysis before making any changes — something that's often missing in conventional dependency managers Demo Demo Flow: Run the CLI: ./q-dep-updater -path=~/dev/myproject -repo=me/myproject See predicted conflicts before upgrades PR automatically created once tests pass Code Repository
