Below you can find screencasts of the dependency-management-data CLI, dmd and some of the features built into it.

The below examples are based on the example repo on GitLab.com.

You can also check out the DMD web application which corresponds with this data at dependency-management-data-example.fly.dev.

It's recommended to have a look at the repo and have a play with the data, but an example of the different things you can do with the project can be found below.
