Depp - A fast unused and duplicate package checker Go Reference

Installation

## NPM
npm install -g depp-installer 
# (will try to get npm install -g depp later)

Configuration

You can save your depp config and not have to run it with flags every time, the config is saved in .depp/config.json but can be created from the cli

CI

Currently only supports Github actions out of the box.

In mode, depp will automatically comment on the PR with its report. It will look like this

It can also deploy the report to netlify but requires a NETLIFY_TOKEN which you can get here

Example Outputs

  1. Markdown
  2. Html

Why use this

  1. It is using esbuild and go so it is quite a bit faster than most other tools
  2. Most tools that I could find at least, didn't not support monorepos. This does and is built for monorepos

Caveats

This is not been extensively tested and might have some short comings, it may not identify every unused package but will definitely do a decent first pass
