PIP-CHECK(1)

✨ PIP-CHECK(1) ✨

okay so this is the pip-check page from the pip manual, bestie — and it's literally the vibe check for your installed packages. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

pip-check — description of pip check command. That's the name, no cap. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Verify installed packages have compatible dependencies. That's it. That's the whole assignment. ✨

💅 USAGE 💅

Bestie, the move is:

python -m pip check [options]
