dotnet-nuget-tree

A global .NET Core tool to list dependencies and sub-dependencies of projects in a directory or project file.

This tool was created to help you find libraries that are not compatible between nugets during a framework upgrade, for example, nuget C used in nugets A and B is not compatible and the build log only tells you that an inferior version of library C was detected and does not indicate who uses said library.

The .NET team has already developed something similar that I think is better by giving options such as which libraries you can update, which ones are obsolete or incompatible.
