If I run npm update --save will devDependencies be moved to dependencies?

Question

Node.js

Here I am doing it npm update --save. There are devDependencies in packages.json.
Will these packages be moved to dependencies when updated?
If so, what is the proper way to update dependencies?

Answer 1

No, they won't move.
The command npm updatewill update local packages from dependencies .
The key −−saveis updating the minimum versions of packages in package.json .
The key −−devis to include packages from devDependencies in the update .
