the prep action will prep all dependencies in the tree

or do you mean how to prep a tool

yes, I'm making this tool: https://github.com/anteoas/eden which depends on another lib: https://github.com/anteoas/hawkeye which needs prep

so consumers will just need to declare their alias using eden (say :eden), then call clj -X:deps prep :aliases '[:eden]'

trying to get it working in gh actions

clojure -Ttools install io.github.anteoas/eden \
  '{:git/url "" :git/tag "v2025.08.19"}' \
  :as eden

clojure -Teden build

Error building classpath. The following libs must be prepared before use: [io.github.anteoas/hawkeye]

if you're using a named tool ...

aha,

that may still be an outstanding issue

so this then:

- name: Install Eden tool
        run: clojure -Ttools install io.github.anteoas/eden '{:git/tag "v2025.09.22"}' :as eden

      - name: Prep Eden tool
        run: clojure -X:deps prep :aliases '[:eden]'

if you have an eden alias, or you can be more explicit like:

clj -X:deps prep :extra '{:deps {io.github.anteoas/eden {:git/tag "v2025.09.22"}}}'

I've added a ticket for this at https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/TDEPS-272

cool! got it working now. thanks prepping named tools would indeed be nice! my thought with this was to get close to something like npm install -g eden , but I totally see the benefits of having a discrete step for "let this thing run arbitrary code".

yeah, that is by design
