Composer
Dependency Manager for PHP
Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP, inspired by node's npm and ruby's bundler. It allows you to declare, manage and install the libraries on which your PHP project depends. Unlike most package managers, Composer manages on a per-project basis. It installs packages or libraries in a directory (e.g. vendor) inside your project and does not install anything globally. However, for convenience it does support a "global" project via the global command. Suppose your project depends on a number of libraries which in turn, depend on other libraries. Composer enables you to declare these libraries, finds out which versions of these packages you require, and installs them. You can then update all of your dependencies conveniently with just one command. -

Apache Maven
Apache Maven core
Maven is a project development management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model: builds, dependency management, documentation creation, site publication, and distribution publication are all controlled from the pom.xml declarative file. Maven can be extended by plugins to utilize a number of other development tools for reporting or the build process. -

Vcpkg
C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS
Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are constantly evolving, and we always appreciate contributions! After you've gotten vcpkg installed and working, you may wish to add tab completion to your shell. With CMake, you will still need to find_package and the like to use the libraries. Check out the CMake section for more information, including on using CMake with an IDE. In classic mode, vcpkg produces an "installed" tree, whose contents are changed by explicit calls to vcpkg install or vcpkg remove. The installed tree is intended for consumption by any number of projects: for example, installing a bunch of libraries and then using those libraries from Visual Studio, without additional configuration. Because the installed tree is not associated with an individual project, it's similar to tools like brew or apt, except that the installed tree is vcpkg-installation-local, rather than global to a system or user. -

NPM
A package manager for JavaScript
Npm (originally short for Node Package Manager) is a package manager for the JavaScript programming language. It is the default package manager for the JavaScript runtime environment Node.js. It consists of a command line client, also called npm, and an online database of public and paid-for private packages, called the npm registry. -

Paket
A dependency manager for .NET with support for NuGet packages and Git
A dependency manager for .NET with support for NuGet packages and Git repositories. NuGet does not separate out the concept of transitive dependencies. If you install a package into your project and that package has further dependencies then all transitive packages are included in the packages.config. There is no way to tell which packages are only transitive dependencies. Even more importantly: If two packages reference conflicting versions of a package, NuGet will silently take the latest version (read more). You have no control over this process. Paket on the other hand maintains this information on a consistent and stable basis within the paket.lock file in the solution root. This file, together with the paket.dependencies file enables you to determine exactly what's happening with your dependencies. -

FOSSA CLI
Fast, portable and reliable dependency analysis for any codebase
FOSSA CLI is a command-line tool that scans your codebase to identify open-source dependencies and their associated licenses and vulnerabilities. It integrates into CI/CD pipelines to provide automated compliance checks, license audits, and security analysis. Designed for enterprise software teams, FOSSA CLI helps enforce open-source policies at scale and provides accurate, automated insights into third-party software usage through deep analysis of transitive dependencies and ecosystem-specific configurations. -

Gradle Lint Plugin
Linter tool for identifying and reporting on patterns of misuse
The Gradle Lint Plugin is a static analysis tool for Gradle build scripts (written in Groovy) that finds patterns of misuse, deprecated constructs, and opportunities for optimization in build configurations. It functions analogous to ESLint in the JavaScript ecosystem: you define rules, apply them across the build scripts, and get warnings or errors when code deviates from best practices. It is particularly useful for maintaining consistency across large, multi-module projects or monorepos, helping teams avoid build anti-patterns, unused dependencies, or misconfigurations. The plugin supports custom rules and can even automatically fix certain violations (e.g. unused dependencies) via a fixGradleLint task. Because it hooks into the end of many Gradle tasks, it can catch issues as part of a normal build workflow, making feedback immediate. -

Symfony DependencyInjection
Allows you to standardize the way objects are constructed
Symfony Dependency Injection is a core component of the Symfony framework that provides a flexible, service-oriented architecture for managing object dependencies. It follows the dependency injection pattern to improve modularity and testability in PHP applications. The component allows developers to define services, inject dependencies, and manage object lifecycles using configuration files or annotations. -

box
Write reusable, composable and modular R code
box is an R package providing a modular system / module loader for organizing reusable R code outside of full packages. It allows users to treat R scripts (files/folders) as modules — possibly nested — with explicit exports, imports, and scoping. The idea is to let users structure code in a more modular, composable way, without needing every reusable component to be a full CRAN-style package. It also provides a cleaner syntax for importing functions or modules (via box::use) that allows scoping control and avoids global pollution. Such modules can be stored in a central module search path (configured via options('box.path')) analogous to the R package library, or locally in individual projects. Let’s assume the module we just defined is stored in a file hello_world.r inside a directory mod, which is inside the module search path. -

niv
Easy dependency management for Nix projects
Niv is a tool designed for managing dependencies in Nix projects. It simplifies adding, updating, and removing package sources via a single nix/sources.json file, improving reproducibility and version control in Nix-based workflows. niv simplifies adding and updating dependencies in Nix projects. It uses a single file, nix/sources.json, where it stores the data necessary for fetching and updating the packages. Nix is a very powerful tool for building code and setting up environments. niv complements it by making it easy to describe and update remote dependencies (URLs, GitHub repos, etc). It is a simple, practical alternative to Nix flakes. The add command will infer information about the package being added, when possible. This works very well for GitHub repositories. Run this command to add jq to your project. -

rallyup
rallyup is a lightweight Wake-On-LAN (WOL) scheduler
rallyup is a lightweight Wake-On-LAN (WOL) scheduler and dependency manager designed for small businesses and home labs. It ensures that infrastructure services like firewalls, storage, and hypervisors are brought online in the correct order, particularly after events like power outages. A typical setup involves configuring most of the infrastructure for WOL but not for Wake-On-Power, and setting rallyup to run on startup on a low-power device like a Raspberry Pi. When you need to bring the entire environment online, simply power on the device running rallyup, and the rest of the infrastructure will automatically follow in the correct order. -

ALI_Parse
Parser for the .ali (Ada Library Information) files generated by GNAT
ALI_Parse is a parser for the .ali files generated by the GNAT Ada compiler. ALI means Ada Library Information. You find the .ali files in the same directories as the object files (.o) containing the machine code produced by GNAT. Currently, ALI_Parse is focused at cross-references within a set of Ada source files. Two command-line tools using the parser are provided: * GNATHTML, which generates a set of Web pages from Ada sources * ALI_Stats, which shows the list of entities, the list of cross-references, the count of references to each entity and the list of files. ALI_Parse is pure Ada 2012 and doesn't depend on any other resource. -

Einstein
A runtime dependency manager
einstein is a dependency management tool that aims to simplify and automate software projects dependencies calculation. Software products are commonly composed of multiple projects, and those projects relate to each other at some kind of level. It's important to guarantee that those relationships are based on the projects' versions so one can assure that they can evolve without compromising such relationships. During dependencies calculation, the einstein tool needs to fetch projects' extra information from a central repository. At its current version, einstein is prepared to communicate to any Gitlab instance, through its api, so it assumes that declared dependencies represents projects that are all stored in a single Gitlab instance. In order to establish a successful connection to the Gitlab Api, it's necessary to create the environment variables on the machine where einstein will be executed. -

Wireit
Wireit upgrades your npm/pnpm/yarn scripts to make them smarter
Wireit is a productivity tool for npm scripts that adds smart caching, concurrency control, and dependency awareness without replacing your package manager. It wraps ordinary npm run commands with a declarative configuration describing inputs, outputs, and script relationships, then skips work when nothing has changed. Wireit can watch files, detect invalidated outputs, and propagate rebuilds through a graph of scripts, improving feedback loops in monorepos and complex apps. It persists caches between runs and across CI so identical steps don’t redo expensive tasks like bundling or type-checking. The system also serializes or parallelizes scripts based on dependencies to avoid race conditions while maximizing throughput. Because it integrates at the script layer, it works with any underlying tool—TypeScript, Rollup, Jest, or bespoke commands—while remaining transparent to developers. -
