DepsGuard is a command-line utility that hardens package manager configuration files against supply chain attacks.
It checks whether protective settings are enabled for npm, pnpm, Yarn, Bun, aube, uv, pip, and Poetry, and can also inspect Renovate and Dependabot configurations. The tool focuses on enabling existing safeguards such as release cooldowns and install-script blocking, while giving users control over every change before anything is written.
This is free and open source software.
