#### CLI tool that helps with large scale manipulations of source code

`source-wand` is a CLI tool that helps with large scale manipulations of source code.

**Dependency analysis**

You can use `source-wand` to generate the dependency tree of any program of the following kind:

* Rust/Cargo
* Python/Pip
* Java/Maven
* Go

To generate the dependency tree of a project, you can point to a local directory:

$ source-wand dependencies local /path/to/project/

Or you can point to a git repository:

$ source-wand dependencies git <https://git.example.com/repository>

You can format the output in the following ways:

* No arguments -> it will print a tree using ASCII characters for the branches
* `--flatten` -> it will build a unique list of dependencies from the tree
* `--format [json or yaml]` -> it will return the tree or list as json or yaml

You can combine these arguments to get a flat json list for example.
