cocoapods/cocoapods-podfile_info

CocoaPods-podfile_info is a small plugin for CocoaPods, the dependency manager that iOS and macOS developers use to pull third-party libraries into their apps. The plugin extracts information from a project's Podfile, which is the file that lists all the external libraries a project depends on. At a high level, it works as a command-line tool. Once installed, a developer runs a single command in their terminal, and the plugin reads through the Podfile and reports back details about the project's dependencies. The README doesn't go into detail about exactly what information is presented or how it's formatted, so the specifics of the output are left to the user to discover. This tool is aimed at iOS or macOS developers who already use CocoaPods and want a quick way to inspect or audit their dependencies. For example, a developer might use it to get a clean summary of what libraries are in their project before upgrading, or to share dependency details with a teammate who is reviewing the project setup. Not much is notable about the project's construction beyond the fact that it is a straightforward port of a command that used to exist directly inside CocoaPods itself. At some point that built-in command was moved out into a separate plugin, and this repo keeps it available for anyone who still needs it. It's a narrow, single-purpose utility with a short README, and it doesn't appear to offer much beyond the one command it describes.
