🚀 Devlog: Major Updates to Hypermod

Hey everyone! 👋

We’ve been hard at work over the break, making some huge improvements to the platform that I’m excited to share with you. These updates bring us closer to our vision of making codemods more accessible, powerful, and collaborative. Let’s dive in!


📚 Introducing the Public Codemod Library

We’ve just launched the Public Codemod Library, a space where we’re sharing popular codemods with the community!

Public Codemod Library

Right now, the library features codemods I’ve created, but soon, anyone will be able to publish their own. We’ve put a lot of work into making this possible, including:

  • ✅ A streamlined publish flow for sharing codemods
  • ⭐ The ability to star and fork transforms for easier reuse
  • 🔄 Laying the groundwork to make Hypermod the "CodeSandbox for codemods"

This is just the beginning—our goal is to build a thriving ecosystem of reusable codemods, making large-scale code transformations easier for everyone.

🚢 New Deployment Workflow for Multi-Repo Changes

New Deployment Workflow

We’ve completely revamped the deployment workflow to make running codemods across multiple repositories simpler, faster, and more powerful.

What’s new?

  • 🔹 Composable transformations – Apply multiple codemods in a single workflow
  • 🔹 Preview before deployment – See changes across multiple repos before rolling them out
  • 🔹 Step-by-step execution – Reduces cognitive load by breaking the process into focused steps

Most importantly, this update lays the foundation for what’s coming next:

🚀 Advanced migration capabilities – Soon, you’ll be able to compose codemods alongside file operations (add, delete, move, modify), bump dependencies, and more. Our goal is to unblock complex, deterministic migrations that require more than just codemod transformations.

✨ Live Editable Codemod Examples

Live Editable Examples

One of our most requested features is finally here: live, interactive codemod examples!

Every month, thousands of developers visit Hypermod (previously CodeshiftCommunity) to learn how to write codemods. To make this easier, we’re making the documentation more interactive and hands-on.

  • 🔹 Edit & run codemods live – Experiment with real transformations in the browser
  • 🔹 Learn by doing – See how codemods work without setting up a project locally
  • 🔹 Faster onboarding – Reduce friction for new users and encourage more community contributions

Our hope is that this helps more developers get comfortable writing codemods and start sharing their own transformations in the Public Codemod Library.

🚀 What’s Next?

These updates bring us one step closer to our vision of making Hypermod the best tool for automated migrations at scale. Here’s what we’re focusing on next:

  • 🔜 Opening up Public Codemod Library contributions to the community
  • 🔜 Adding more advanced migration features (file operations, dependency bumps, etc.)
  • 🔜 Expanding live codemod examples to cover more real-world use cases

We can’t wait to see what you build with these new features. Give them a try and let us know what you think!

Thanks for being part of this journey — excited for what’s ahead! 🚀
