dependency-hunter

Find module dependencies in github repositories.

It's a good tool to use if you need to update/deprecate a module and want to find out who uses it first. Great for a large organization.

Goes through package.json and bower.json in each repository so you can easily find dependencies and devDependencies in each repository. Works both for users and organizations.

If I wanted to find out how many of my own repositories that uses request I would run:

$ dependency-hunter find freeall request

Which would return:

tvcom is using request, version: ~2.21.0
node-loggly is using request, version: 2.27.x
node-httpcheck is using request, version: ~2.16.6
mtgtop8 is using request, version: ^2.39.0
mtgjson is using request, version: ^2.36.0
Found 5 dependencies

progress-stream is using request, version: ~2.29.0
http-monitor is using request, version: ~2.33.0
Found 2 devDependencies

Data for freeall was last updated: 2014-08-12T14:01:57.694Z

Installation

npm install dependency-hunter -g

The first time you run it, the application will ask for github user/pass. Supports two-factor authentication if you have it.

Usage

Before running it, you should update the data from your user/organization

After it has run you can now search for modules. To find out which repositories uses the request module do this:
