nuget-tree's Introduction

nuget-tree

Installation

Please install the latest version of node.js.

Then install using npm:

> npm install -g nuget-tree

Usage

Navigate to a directory containing a packages.config / project.lock.json file. Then run this command:

> nuget-tree

This will draw a nice dependency tree for you:

Optional parameters:

--showSystem : shows the System.* packages
--onlyTopLevel : lists only the packages at the top level of the tree (i.e. those that are not depended upon by any other package)
--flat : lists the dependencies without the hierarchy
--why Newtonsoft.Json : shows only dependency trees that reference the given package (Newtonsoft.Json in this case)
