Main Features

Dependency Management

• Declarative Configuration: Define dependencies in a simple JSON format
• Recursive Processing: Automatically resolve nested dependencies
• Duplicate Prevention: Skip already-processed repositories
• Smart Updates: Clone new repos or pull existing ones

Hooks System

• Pre/Post Hooks: Execute custom commands before and after operations
• Conditional Execution: Run hooks only on success
• Timeout Control: Prevent hanging commands with configurable timeouts
• Error Handling: Skip failures or fail on errors

Advanced Queries

• Dependency Tree: Visualize project structure with depth control
• Export Analysis: Export flattened dependency list with metadata
• Repository Validation: Check that all dependencies are properly cloned

Multi-Language Support

• Language Detection: Identify required programming languages
• Version Tracking: Record language versions per dependency
• Structured Metadata: Store comments and branch information

Quick Start

1. Initialize Your Project

cd your-project
tsndep init

This creates a dependencies.json template with:

• Empty repos array
• MetaTrader 5 build requirement
• Hook configuration (pre/post install/update)

2. Configure Dependencies

Edit dependencies.json and add your first dependency:

{
  "repos": [
    {
      "name": "my-core-lib",
      "url": "https://github.com/yourorg/my-core-lib.git",
      "rama": "main",
      "comment": "Core library for trading systems"
    }
  ],
  "hooks": {
    "post_install": []
  }
}

3. Clone & Install All Dependencies

# Install from repository URL
tsndep install https://github.com/yourorg/my-project.git main

# Or with custom path
tsndep install https://github.com/yourorg/my-project.git main --path_install custom\\path

This will:

• Clone the main repository
• Read its dependencies.json
• Recursively clone all nested dependencies
• Execute any pre/post hooks

4. Verify Everything is Installed

tsndep check

Shows status of each dependency:

• [OK]: Repository cloned and ready
• [FAIL]: Repository missing or not cloned

5. Visualize the Dependency Tree

# Show all dependencies (default depth: 10)
tsndep list

# Show only 3 levels deep
tsndep list --depth 3

Output:

MyProject/
├── my-core-lib/
│   ├── logger-lib/
│   └── config-lib/
└── data-processor/
    ├── pandas-wrapper/
    └── ml-models/

Common Commands

Add a New Dependency

tsndep add https://github.com/org/repo.git main \
  --name my-new-lib \
  --comment "Trading calculations library"

Remove a Dependency

tsndep remove my-new-lib

Update all repositories (from dependencies.json)

tsndep update

Pulls latest changes from all repositories.

Export Flat Dependency List

tsndep export --output all-deps.json

Creates a flattened list with all dependencies (useful for CI/CD).
