Docker Deps

A Docker CLI plugin for managing project dependencies. Think npm, composer, or pip — but for Docker images.

---

Features

• Manifest-based: Declare image dependencies in a docker-deps.json file
• CLI commands: add, remove, update, list, info, why, install
• Bulk install: Pull all dependencies at once with progress display
• Docker native: Integrated as a first-class Docker CLI plugin

---

Installation

Prerequisites

• Go 1.26+
• Docker CLI
