## Marking Projects Affected by Dependency Updates

By default, Nx will mark all projects as affected whenever your package manager's lock file changes. This behavior is a failsafe in case Nx misses a project that should be affected by a dependency update. If you'd like to opt in to a smarter behavior you can configure Nx to only mark projects as affected if they actually depend on the updated packages.

```json {% fileName="nx.json" %}
{
"pluginsConfig": {
"@nx/js": {
"projectsAffectedByDependencyUpdates": "auto"
}
}
}
```

The flag `projectsAffectedByDependencyUpdates` can be set to `auto`, `all`, or an array that contains project specifiers. The default value is `all`.

## Not Using Git

If you aren't using Git, you can pass `--files` to any affected command to indicate what files have been changed.
