Managing Different Software Dependencies Associated With Source Code

Software dependencies can be managed by a system. For example, the system can determine multiple dependencies associated with source code for software. A dependency can be a segment of program code that is separate from the source code and to be incorporated into the source code. The system can determine multiple attributes associated with the multiple dependencies. Each attribute can be associated with a respective dependency and indicate if the respective dependency is at least one of (i) an essential dependency that is necessary to create executable code from the source code, (ii) a nonessential dependency that is unnecessary to create the executable code from the source code, or (iii) an expiring dependency for which there is a newer version of the dependency available that is incompatible with the source code. The system can sort the multiple dependencies based on the multiple attributes.
