WARNING
All Magento CLI commands must be run by the file system owner.

You can run the following types of reports:

  • Module dependencies: Shows the total number of dependencies between modules and whether the dependencies are hard or soft.
  • Circular dependencies: Shows the total number of dependency chains and the number and list of circular dependencies for each module.
  • Framework dependencies: Shows the total number of dependencies on the Commerce framework by module (including the total number of framework entries for each library).

A dependency in a comment is also a dependency.
