Deps

Deps is a command-line tool for managing dependencies in Clojure projects, part of the Clojure CLI toolchain. It handles dependency resolution, classpath construction, and project configuration through a deps.edn file, enabling reproducible builds and efficient development workflows.

Also known as: Clojure Deps, deps.edn, Clojure CLI, tools.deps, clj deps

Why learn Deps?

Developers should learn Deps when working with Clojure or ClojureScript projects, as it is the modern standard for dependency management in the ecosystem. It is essential for setting up development environments, managing libraries, and ensuring consistent builds across teams, particularly in applications leveraging the Clojure CLI.
