gitlab-depcheck 0.5.3

Check python package dependencies across GitLab projects

GitLab Dependency Checker

A command-line utility to check if Python packages are used in GitLab repositories or groups. It helps you track package usage across your projects.

Installation

The easiest way to install is with uv:

% uv tool install gitlab-depcheck

Now it's available globally. You can check that the installation was successful:

% gitlab-depcheck --version
gitlab-depcheck, version 0.5.3

Next, create a config file .gitlab_depcheck.toml in your project directory or ~/.gitlab_depcheck.toml in your home directory:

[gitlab]
url = "https://gitlab.com"  # or your self-hosted GitLab URL
token = "your-personal-access-token"

[search]
group = "foo"              # default group to search in
max_concurrent = 20        # parallel API requests (default: 10)

And just run:

% gitlab-depcheck httpx

Output can be transformed into json or csv, for example:

% gitlab-depcheck numpy --output json > foo_numpy.json
% gitlab-depcheck numpy --output csv > foo_numpy.csv

More options

You can narrow the search by specifying a group:

gitlab-depcheck httpx --group mycompany/backend

or filter by project name:

gitlab-depcheck httpx --search foo-service
