✨ NAME ✨

git-pkgs β€” track package dependencies across git history πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git-pkgs [flags]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. no subcommand, just flags πŸ‘‘


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the tea: git-pkgs indexes package dependencies from manifest files across your git history. like, all of it. every commit. it's giving time traveler energy fr fr.

and once it's indexed all that, you can query what packages were used, see when they changed, and β€” this is the important one β€” identify potential security vulnerabilities πŸ˜­πŸ”’

so basically it's your little dependency historian slash bodyguard. iconic behavior honestly.


⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • --color="auto" β€” tells it when to colorize the output. your choices are auto, always, never. default is auto, which is the "i trust you to read the room" option πŸ’…
  • -h, --help[=false] β€” help for git-pkgs. the classic. the icon. use it when you're lost 🫢
  • --include-submodules[=false] β€” when it's scanning for manifests, also peek inside your git submodules. off by default, so you gotta opt in πŸ”
  • -p, --pager[=false] β€” use a pager for the output. off by default. turn it on when the output is gonna be a whole novel πŸ“–
  • -q, --quiet[=false] β€” suppress non-essential output. for when you want it to just. stop talking. respectfully πŸ™ˆ
ngl all of these default to false / "auto" β€” so out of the box it's pretty chatty and un-paged. just so you know what you're walking into πŸ’€
