Usage

gh dep help

dep.json

{
  "dependency_dir": "modules",
  "dependencies": {
    "MeroFuruya/environmentality": "v2.1.1",
    "MeroFuruya/gh-dep": {
      "version": "v1.0.0",
      "dir_name": "thisIsAnotherName"
    }
  }
}

dependency_dir

• default: modules
• type: string
• description: directory name where dependencies are installed

dependencies

• type: object
• description: dependencies to install
• key: string (github repository name)

As you see with MeroFuruya/environmentality, the version is directly specified as the value. Now gh-dep installs the dependency under modules/MeroFuruya_environmentality.

If you want to change the directory name, you can specify dir_name as the value. You can see this with MeroFuruya/gh-dep, which is installed under modules/thisIsAnotherName.

version

• type: string
• description: version to install, that is the tag name of the release, not the release name!
