Nuget Ninja (A Hackthon project)

(Nuget Ninjia was not built or released as a production product. Instead it was our hackthon project while we prefer opensource. It was not officialy release by Microsoft as a product.)

(Non-production! This project is still working in progress...)

Nuget Ninjia is a tool for detecting dependencies of .NET projects. It analyzes the dependency structure of .NET projects in a directory and builds a directed acyclic graph. And will give some modification suggestions for Nuget packages, so that the dependencies of the project are as concise and up-to-date as possible.

The tool can also generate a list of all top level dependencies into a CSV file. This CSV includes the nuget description and avoids issues with shproj and dotnet list packages.

Usage

After getting the binary, run it directly in the terminal.

C:\workspace> ninja.exe
