Dependencies

We use 3 separate tools to help manage our dependencies and prevent us from unnecessarily bloating the node_modules directory.

Sherif#

• Sherif ensures that all references to a dependency throughout the monorepo are on the same version
• This helps avoid pnpm resolution issues, such as type conflicts from having 2+ incompatible versions of the same dependency installed

Knip#

• Knip is able to detect unused dependencies within package.json files
• This leads to fewer packages getting installed unnecessarily by developers

Renovate#

• Renovate is a bot which runs on GitHub to scan for outdated or insecure dependencies
• This reduces the burden on maintainers by automatically submitting PRs
