Patcher Report

Starting in 0.4.2, Patcher supports two modes: interactive mode and non-interactive mode.

In interactive mode, the user can browse the discovered module dependencies.

In non-interactive mode, Patcher outputs a list of module dependencies in JSON format.

Interactive Mode (Default)

Example usage:

patcher report prod

The patcher report command is a read-only version of Patcher that shows the changelog per module and its usages.

After scanning for dependencies, Patcher will show you the 'Modules View', similar to the screenshot below.
