Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but is it possible to determine whether a deps.edn dependency is being used or not (other than manually matching a repos :requires and :imports to their respective dependencies)? We've got a fairly large and old (comparatively) code base and it wouldn't surprise me if we've acquired dependency cruft over the years and I'd like to audit it.

This does the reverse https://github.com/borkdude/deps-infer so you can then diff the deps

Superb, thanks @borkdude 🙇

remove a dependency and see if compilation fails?

I have some code I was playing with a while back to infer deps from clojure src code by taking the ns forms and looking for those namespaces in ~/.m2. It is sort of the inverse of what you want, but I don't know of any tools for doing what you want, and I think it could be adjusted to do it. the code for that is here https://gist.github.com/hiredman/15186e238dc365fd72e2e09c3eb7561a

@foo, that's the back-up plan, but we've got a lot of dependencies across our code base.

@hiredman interesting, I'll take a look.
