Only Analyze Root Crate

[theduke]

Currently dependencies are analyzed by default.

There is a --build-dependencies flag, which seems pointless since it is enabled automatically.

So there does not seem to be a way to only analyze the main crate and ignore all deps.

Is that correct?

Good point, thanks for filing the issue.

That flag is there for vestigial reasons, specifically me copy-pasting cargo-tree long ago as boiler plate for cargo-geiger. It can be removed.

We should add a flag for only scanning the main crate.

Thanks for doing the PR 💜

I am working on a major overhaul with the CLI options as part of the cargo de-couple.

Aiming it for the 0.12.0 build - #241

As part of it we will be moving to clap 3 and the CLI options for cargo build are going to be mirrored as-is if --target was not used to skip build

Also regarding the analysis report

The idea now is to still support but separate reporting between different type of dependencies.

Thinking along the lines of -

cargo geiger build -- should do build deps

cargo geiger test -- should do test deps

cargo geiger run -- should do runtime deps

How would you feel about contributing to that?

Also regarding depth of deps resolution

I would perhaps add

-dX || --depth X that translates to resolving X depth of deps immediate below crate where zero is no deps

And I would perhaps shorten

--no-deps vs --no-dependencies

Or just simply

-d0 Translates to --no-deps

Also I have cargo CLI options reform tracker here - #226
