git-pkgs

git-pkgs tracks package dependencies across your repository's git history. It answers questions like "who added this dependency?", "when was it introduced?", and "how long were we exposed to this vulnerability?" Works with 45+ package managers.

Install it with:

brew install git-pkgs

Or download a binary from the releases page.

Or build from source:

go install github.com/git-pkgs/git-pkgs@latest
