Planned features for the next release(s). See below for details.

1. deps remove command

Add a remove command to cleanly remove a dependency:

deps remove github.com/user/repo

Should:

  • Remove the entry from .deps.lock
  • Delete the directory from .deps/github.com/user/repo
  • Remove any alias symlink (see below) that points to it

2. Aliases with symlinks

Allow an optional alias when adding a dependency:

deps get github.com/raysan5/raylib raylib

This would create a symlink in .deps/:

.deps/raylib -> .deps/github.com/raysan5/raylib

So you can import using the short name:

import ".deps/raylib"

instead of:

import ".deps/github.com/raysan5/raylib"

Things to consider:

  • Store the alias in .deps.lock (e.g. "alias": "raylib")
  • Recreate symlinks on deps install
  • Handle alias conflicts (two deps can't share an alias)
  • Windows support — skip symlink creation on Windows (aliases would be a Unix-only feature)
  • deps remove should accept either the full URL or the alias

3. Self-update check

On startup, check if a newer version of deps itself is available and show a soft notice:

Note: deps v1.2.0 is available (you have v1.1.0). See https://github.com/moomerman/deps/releases

Things to consider:

  • Query the GitHub releases API for moomerman/deps (single lightweight call)
  • Cache the result so we don't check on every invocation (e.g. check at most once per day, store timestamp in ~/.cache/deps/ or similar)
  • Never block or slow down the main command — fail silently if the network is unavailable
  • Respect NO_COLOR / CI environments — maybe skip the check entirely in non-interactive contexts
  • Could run the check in a goroutine so it doesn't add latency

4. Configurable install directory

Allow users to configure the install directory instead of hardcoding .deps/.

Store the install directory in .deps.lock so that deps install knows where to put things:

{
  "dir": "vendor",
  "dependencies": { ... }
}

Set it via deps init --dir vendor or deps get --dir vendor (first dep sets it).

Useful for projects that prefer vendor/, third_party/, lib/, etc.

Things to consider:

  • Needs a sensible default (.deps/ as today, used when dir is absent from lock file)
  • The lock file path should probably stay as .deps.lock regardless
  • Alias symlinks (see above) should respect the configured directory
  • Document the .gitignore implications
  • May need a deps init command to set the dir before adding any dependencies
