update-build-files

./pants update-build-files [args]

Format and fix safe deprecations in BUILD files.

This does not handle the full Pants upgrade. You must still manually change pants_version in pants.toml and you may need to manually address some deprecations. See Upgrade tips for upgrade tips.

This goal is run without arguments. It will run over all BUILD files in your project.
