Update the dependency

Next, we'll go through the GitHub Flow to make some changes. If you aren't sure how to do this, try the Introduction to GitHub course and then come back to give it another try.

Note: Before doing this with real world code, make sure that the upgraded package works with your code. Good unit tests and CI (continuous integration) will help you update with confidence.

Step 4: Updating dependency versions

Now that you know the recommended version, it's time to edit the package.json file. You'll upgrade the package to a non-vulnerable version.
