プロジェクトの歴史

The official repository was created in December 2022. Its README presents dep-tree as a tool for visualizing codebase entropy and keeping modules decoupled by analyzing local file imports from one or more entrypoints.

The project grew around a few focused commands: entropy for browser-based 3D graphs, tree for terminal exploration, explain for showing dependencies between glob-selected areas, and check for enforcing allow or deny rules.

採用の歴史

dep-tree is distributed through Homebrew on macOS and Linux, plus pip and npm for broader platform access. That multi-channel packaging fits the tool's audience: teams may want the same architecture check available in local shells, Python-heavy repos, JavaScript-heavy repos, and CI.

The GitHub release feed shows active 0.23.x releases through March 2025, and the README links generated graphs for well-known projects across TypeScript, Python, Rust, and Go.

使われ方

Users point dep-tree at one or more entry files to build a local dependency graph. dep-tree entropy opens a browser visualization, dep-tree tree shows a navigable terminal tree, and dep-tree explain reports whether files matching one glob depend on files matching another.

For CI, dep-tree check reads .dep-tree.yml and verifies allow, deny, and circular-dependency rules. That makes it a lightweight architecture-linting tool rather than only a visualization toy.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

dep-tree is notable because it packages architecture boundaries as a small CLI instead of a platform-specific IDE feature. That makes dependency hygiene scriptable in package test phases and CI jobs.

It also shows a modern packaging pattern: one upstream tool ships through brew, pip, and npm so different ecosystems can install the same executable in the way their automation already understands.
