3 years ago I rarely use the pub deps command myself, but I can see how it might make it easier to analyze the dependencies.
I guess part of the problem here is that the dependency graph is not really a tree (possibly not even a DAG), making it hard to read the output.
Perhaps we could output the graph in graphviz dot format or something similar - enabling a graphic representation of the graph that might be easier to interpret.

3 years ago My use case was to find why a specific package was included.
I had a conflict and was trying to establish why.
My long experience with maven was essentially the same. A full view of the entire dependency tree was rarely used in my experience.
I really want to see an inverse tree starting from the passed dependency.
The current textual tree format is fine once inverted.

3 years ago Do you want it inverted, or just having it "pruned" to the relevant parts? I guess you always want to start with the root package?

3 years ago Inverted would be good but it could be confusing when the full view isn't.
Pruned would be sufficient.

For a project with a large no. of dependencies it can be hard to find a single dependency and its ancestors.
It would be useful to have an option that just shows the tree for a single dependency.
e.g.
rather than what I see now :+1:
pub deps
