GIT-PKGS(1)

📦 version 0.21.0, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 GIT-PKGS(1) 💖

okay so real talk — this is a page from the Git Pkgs Manual, and it's about the maintainers command. Buckle up bestie, it's actually so useful.

✨ NAME ✨

git-pkgs-maintainers — show dependency maintainer information 🫶 like, who's actually behind the packages you're pulling in.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git-pkgs maintainers [flags]

that's it. that's the whole vibe.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

lowkey iconic behaviour: it fetches package maintainer metadata and then shows you maintainer counts for your dependencies. so you can literally see how many humans are standing between you and that dependency. no cap. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --all[=false] — include transitive dependencies from lockfiles. like, the whole dependency tree, not just the front row. 🌈
  • -b, --branch="" — which branch to query (default: the current branch, obviously).
  • -c, --commit="" — check dependencies at a specific commit (default: HEAD). time travel, but make it git. ⭐
  • -e, --ecosystem="" — filter by ecosystem. narrow it down, keep it focused. 🎯
  • -f, --format="text" — output format: text, json. pick your aesthetic.
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for maintainers. when in doubt, ask for help, queen. 👑
  • --single[=false] — only show dependencies with exactly one maintainer. this is the spicy one fr fr — one person holding the whole thing down. 🙈

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these aren't even from this command, they're handed down from the parent, and they're still serving:

  • --color="auto" — when to colorize output: auto, always, never. ✨
  • --include-submodules[=false] — include git submodules when scanning for manifests. don't forget the little guys. 🍓
  • -p, --pager[=false] — use pager for output. for when the output is a whole novel. 📖
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — suppress non-essential output. shhh, main character is thinking. 🤫

🧚 HISTORY 🧚

28-Oct-2026 — auto generated by spf13/cobra. not me being born from a generator 😭 honestly slay.

ngl, the --single flag is the one to watch. one maintainer = one point of failure, and that's a vibe check you wanna run. 💅
