depth is a command-line tool (also usable as a Go library) that retrieves and visualizes the dependency tree of Go packages. It resolves imports for your own code, third-party libraries, and the Go standard library, printing a tree with counts of internal, external, and testing dependencies.

Use cases

• visualize the dependency tree of a go package
• see which packages my go project actually imports
• inspect dependencies of the go standard library
• find out how many external third-party packages a go library pulls in
• analyze transitive internal dependencies of a go codebase
• print a go import tree from the terminal before vendoring

When to choose

• You want a quick terminal-based tree view of Go package imports, including standard library packages that go list omits
• You need to inspect both your own packages and third-party/standard-library dependencies in one tool
• You want to embed dependency-tree resolution into your own Go program, since depth can also be imported as a package

When to avoid

• You need go.mod module-level graph analysis or minimal version selection details rather than package import trees
• You need dependency visualization for languages other than Go
• You need security vulnerability auditing or license scanning of dependencies rather than structural visualization
