why super-lamp?
===============

[](#why-super-lamp)

After having problems including my code irfantoor/engine using composer and not finding any option in the dependency manager to list the dependencies in a heirarchical way, I created super-lamp (the name was suggested by github ...) to show me the dependency chain of the project

NOTE: It only shows the dependency of the packages included. In the next versions mechanism to display the --dev dependencies might as well be included.
