dependn

Dependn is a project that aims to simplify dependency management for various programming languages. It is designed to be a universal solution, allowing developers to manage their project's external libraries and packages in a consistent manner, regardless of the underlying language or ecosystem. The core idea behind Dependn is to abstract away the complexities associated with different package managers, such as npm for JavaScript, pip for Python, or Maven for Java.

The project provides a command-line interface (CLI) that acts as a single point of interaction for managing dependencies. Users can define their project's dependencies in a unified configuration file, which Dependn then interprets to fetch, install, and update the required packages. This approach aims to reduce the learning curve for developers working across multiple technology stacks and promotes a more streamlined development workflow.

Dependn also focuses on features like version locking to ensure reproducible builds, allowing teams to collaborate effectively without encountering dependency conflicts. It may also offer tools for auditing dependencies for security vulnerabilities and for optimizing dependency trees to reduce project size and build times. While still under development, Dependn seeks to become a valuable tool for modern software development, promoting efficiency and consistency in how projects manage their external code.
