Is there a way to display the outdated dependencies from a requirements.txt in a Github wiki?


I have a Github wiki that I am maintaining and I want to include a section that displays whether or not the python dependancies within requirements.txt are outdated. I know how to do this manually using:

pip list --outdated

What is the easiest way that I can dynamically have that called whenever the page is accessed? or another method that gives the same result?


Solution

  • "whenever the page is accessed"

    I am not aware of a webhook trigger by accessing the page: that would be costly whenever a lot of people want to read said page.

    But since a GitHub wiki is a repo, it should be possible, as a pre-push commit to trigger a local command pip list --outdated and modify the wiki locally cloned repo in order to push that output to the wiki, before finally pushing your commit on your regular repo.
