Exposing the code that's a little too attached

A command-line tool to scan project directories for dependencies across multiple ecosystems, aggregating and reporting them.

Highlights:

• Scans multiple directories recursively for dependencies across various ecosystems.
• Supports Node.js (package.json) and Dart (pubspec.yaml) projects.
• Extracts dependency names, versions, and categories (dev, prod).
• Provides a detailed list of dependencies along with their file paths.
• Aggregates dependency data to count occurrences and identify version ranges.
• Exports results to JSON or CSV for auditing and documentation.
• Designed for monorepo and mixed-environment analysis.

A few examples of commands:

Show help:

clingy --help

Show version:

clingy --version

Scan a single directory with default output (JSON implied by context):

clingy ./my-project

Include specific ecosystems (e.g., Node.js and Dart):

clingy --include=node,dart ./my-project

Exclude specific path segments:

clingy --exclude=/node_modules/,/build/ ./my-project

Output results in CSV format:

clingy --csv ./my-project

Output results in Markdown format:

clingy --md ./my-project

Aggregate results across multiple paths:

clingy --aggregate ./proj-a ./proj-b
