site:docs.astral.sh/uv concepts projects dependencies tool.uv.sources indexes package metadata uv tree outdated

💡 Result:

In uv, projects are managed using pyproject.toml, which defines dependencies and project configuration [1][2][3]. Dependencies are specified in tables like project.dependencies (published packages) and dependency-groups (development dependencies) [1]. Key concepts and tools include: tool.uv.sources: This table extends standard dependency tables to provide alternative sources for packages during development, such as Git repositories, URLs, local paths, or specific package indexes [4][1]. These sources are respected exclusively by uv and are not used by other tools [1]. Indexes: By default, uv uses PyPI [5]. You can configure additional or private package indexes via the [[tool.uv.index]] setting in pyproject.toml [4][5]. Packages can be pinned to a specific index within tool.uv.sources, or an index can be marked as explicit = true to restrict it from being used unless explicitly pinned [1][5]. Package Metadata: During resolution, uv uses static metadata from indexes [6]. For packages where this is missing or incorrect—particularly those requiring builds—the tool.uv.dependency-metadata table allows you to provide static metadata upfront to bypass build-time resolution issues [7][6]. uv tree: This command displays the project's dependency tree, showing how dependencies are resolved [8][9][10]. It automatically ensures the lockfile and environment are up-to-date before running [2]. Outdated Packages: To manage updates, you can use uv lock --upgrade to update the entire lockfile or --upgrade-package to target specific packages for upgrade [3]. While there is no single "uv outdated" command, uv's workflow centers on keeping the environment and lockfile in sync with the pyproject.toml definitions [2][3]. top_results: [4][1][7][5][6][2][3]

Resolve each dependency's configured source before checking metadata. Use PyPI metadata only for PyPI-backed packages. Use the configured tool.uv.sources or [[tool.uv.index]] source for private indexes, Git, URL, path, or workspace dependencies.

site:docs.astral.sh/uv "uv sync --frozen" pyproject.toml lockfile dependency changes

💡 Result:

When you run uv sync --frozen, uv uses the existing lockfile as the single source of truth for the project's dependencies and will not attempt to update it, even if there are changes to your pyproject.toml [1][2]. Key behaviors of the --frozen flag include: 1. No Lockfile Updates: uv will not perform any dependency resolution or modify the uv.lock file [1][2]. If you have added, removed, or changed version constraints in your pyproject.toml, those changes will not be reflected in the lockfile or the environment [1][3]. 2. Environment Syncing: While the environment will still be synchronized to match the current lockfile, it will ignore any discrepancies between the pyproject.toml and the lockfile [1][3]. 3. Error Handling: If the lockfile is missing, uv will exit with an error because it cannot proceed without a source of truth [1]. 4. Consistency: This flag is primarily used for reproducible builds in environments like CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that the environment is created exactly as defined in the lockfile without external interference [3][4]. If you need to ensure the lockfile is up-to-date with your pyproject.toml instead of using a frozen state, you should omit the --frozen flag, which allows uv to automatically detect discrepancies and update the lockfile [3][4].

site:docs.astral.sh/uv "uv lock --upgrade-package" project dependency

💡 Result:

To upgrade a specific package in your project using uv, use the --upgrade-package flag with the uv lock command [1][2]. This will update the specified package to the latest version allowed by your project's dependency constraints while leaving other locked dependencies unchanged [1][2]. Basic usage: $ uv lock --upgrade-package You can also upgrade a package to a specific version: $ uv lock --upgrade-package == The --upgrade-package flag is also compatible with other project commands like uv sync and uv run, which will update both the lockfile and your environment [1][3]. Note that all upgrades remain constrained by the requirements defined in your pyproject.toml (e.g., version bounds) [1][3].

Citations:

Move the direct-constraint edit before uv lock. If pyproject.toml changes, uv sync --frozen uses the existing uv.lock and ignores dependency changes that are not locked.

Edit `pyproject.toml` when intentionally widening or changing a direct dependency
constraint. Do not run an unscoped full Python upgrade unless the batch explicitly
covers the full Python graph.

Pin GitHub Actions to commit SHAs and container images to immutable digests when
that is repository policy. Review every manifest and lockfile delta for unexpected
transitive additions, replacements, features, scripts, or platform changes.

Use each Python command against its actual project and locked environment, for
example:

```bash
uv lock --project <path> --check
uv run --project <path> <lint-or-test-command>
```

For native or GPU packages, also build the production image and run the
repository's import/linkage smoke test so a resolver-green but ABI-incompatible
update cannot land.

Run the repository's dependency or security audit command when it defines one,
for example `bun run security:audit`, and report its result. Do not substitute a
generic command for repository policy when no such audit is configured.
