Undepend
========

[](#undepend)

Undepend lets you find orphaned dependencies in your composer lock file

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Installation is done trough [composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

```
$ composer require --dev backendtea/undepend

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$ vendor/bin/undepend

```

The command will exit with 0 if you have no orphaned dependencies.

If you do have some, it will exit with 1 and give you all dependencies that are orphaned.

You can specify another composer.json and lock file to use like so:

```
$ vendor/bin/undepend /path/to/composer.json /path/to/composer.lock

```
