package-usage

A dotnet global tool to inspect package versions across your projects.

Displays all packages used by your projects, grouped by package name, then lists all the different versions of each package.
Might help you notice version discrepancies, unnecessary references, outdated packages, or plan ahead for migration to central package management.
