How I built a self‑healing package manager
A developer has created a self-healing package manager called HealDep to address dependency conflicts in programming projects. The tool automatically detects conflicts, generates adapter code, and tests it using AI until the build is successful. HealDep is open-source and aims to simplify the development process across multiple programming languages.
- ▪HealDep resolves dependency conflicts by generating adapter code and retrying with AI until the build passes.
- ▪The tool supports Rust, Python, and npm, and includes a web dashboard for monitoring healing history.
- ▪It is available as a Docker image and integrates with GitHub Actions for automated dependency healing.
