drep --version
drep --help

The current stable release is v3.1.3. It refreshes the audited dependency lockfile, no longer reads or writes through a symbolic link at .drep, the acknowledgement store, or the .gitignore that drep init updates, so a repository cannot make drep read or write files outside it, and stops lint-docs from reporting a URL inside a raw HTML tag, without changing the six-command CLI. Continue with the Quick Start to configure a repository.

Runtime requirements

• Git: drep discovers the repository root and installs local hooks.
• Your repository's tools: configured linters and compilers must be installed. drep doctor reports what is ready or missing.
• An LLM backend: required for semantic review. It can be an HTTP endpoint or a separately installed Codex CLI using ChatGPT authentication.
