The Angular team releases new versions of Angular frequently. Each release nudges your codebase to be compliant with the next major release. In addition to receiving security and bug fixes, you next upgrade happens much quicker as a result. This is the Angular Evergreen motto.

My team and I delivered a VS Code Extension called Angular Evergreen, which gives you a visual dashboard on latest and next versions of upcoming Angular. The extension also features quick commands to help you optimize your VS Code settings, runs update commands, and do a post update check up.

I will talk about why it is important to keep your Angular projects up-to-date, go in detail how we developed a VS Code extension, including the challenges and pitfalls of creating tools for developers. In addition, I will share multiple CLI tools that I publishing on npm, which were developed using MRM and oclif frameworks.
