It collects data from your lockfiles, tool configs, package registries, and GitHub, then produces two outputs: an interactive dashboard, and tickets for either Linear or GitHub.\n\nIf you maintain a monorepo with multiple teams, dozens of workspace packages, and hundreds of dependencies, Dependicus gives you the visibility that automated-PR tools don't: which dependencies are behind, by how much, who owns them, and where teams have drifted to different versions of the same package. The dashboard is a single view of your entire dependency landscape. The tickets are driven by compliance policies you define.\n\nYou can define SLOs for how quickly different kinds of updates need to happen, route tickets to the right team, group related dependencies, and distinguish between advisory notifications and hard deadlines. The tickets are rich enough that [coding agents can pick them up directly](https://descriptinc.github.io/dependicus/coding-agents/).\n\nDependicus supports [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/), [bun](https://bun.sh/), [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/), [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/), [aube](https://aube.en.dev/), [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/), [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), [Go](https://go.dev/), and [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) as dependency providers, with auto-detection of the active one. Node.js package managers, mise tool versions, Python dependencies managed by uv, Go modules, and Rust crates are all tracked in a single unified view. It has a plugin system for customization. It’s a young open source project, but we use it daily at [Descript](https://descript.com).\n\n[Full documentation](https://descriptinc.github.io/dependicus/) | [Demo deployment targeting this repo](https://descriptinc.github.io/dependicus/dependencies/)\n\n## Quickstart\n\nYou only need to run a couple of commands to see whether Dependicus is useful to you. First, collect the data and generate the static site.\n\n```sh\nexport GITHUB_TOKEN=\u003ca GitHub token\u003e # speeds up fetching of changelogs and tags\n\n# pnpm\npnpm dlx dependicus@latest update --html\n\n# bun\nbunx dependicus@latest update --html\n\n# yarn\nyarn dlx dependicus@latest update --html\n\n# npm\nnpx dependicus@latest update --html\n\n# open ./dependicus-out/index.html\n```\n\nIf you're a Linear shop, you can reuse the same data to create issues when updates are available. The default behavior is very naive, so this example uses `--dry-run` just to give you a sense of what would happen.\n\n```sh\nexport LINEAR_API_KEY=\u003ca Linear API key\u003e\npnpm dlx dependicus@latest make-linear-issues \\\n    --linear-team-id=\u003cuuid of a Linear team\u003e \\\n    --dry-run\n```\n\nOr use GitHub issues:\n\n```sh\npnpm dlx dependicus@latest make-github-issues \\\n    --github-owner=\u003cowner\u003e \\\n    --github-repo=\u003crepo\u003e \\\n    --dry-run\n```\n\nDependicus offers extensive customization through its JavaScript API.\n\n## Peer dependency note\n\nThe Linear integration (`make-linear-issues`) depends on `@linear/sdk`, which has a transitive peer dependency on `graphql`. If your project uses `strictPeerDependencies`, you may need to add `graphql` to your own dependencies. This is only required for Linear ticket creation.\n\n[Full documentation](https://descriptinc.github.io/dependicus/) | [Demo deployment targeting this repo](https://descriptinc.github.io/dependicus/dependencies/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdescriptinc%2Fdependicus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdescriptinc%2Fdependicus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdescriptinc%2Fdependicus/lists"}
