Stata command for managing user-written commands required in a project (dependencies) to ensure reproducibility of all code, as ado files available online may change. This is achieved by freezing the current version of installed packages into a zip file, and later unfreezing it into an adopath that takes top priority.
'DEPENDENCIES': manages required user-written commands (ado version freeze)
Keywords: dependencies | reproducibility | community-contributed commands | user-written commands | version freeze | adopath
The most recent version of dependencies (version 0.2) is currently published on SSC, so it can be installed through this code:
ssc install dependencies
The same version of dependencies can be installed using this code:
net install dependencies, from("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dianagold/dependencies/master/src") replace
Please check the help file, installed with the package, for more information on how to use dependencies.

Kristoffer Bjarkefur and Joao Pedro Azevedo provided invaluable contributions to this package. The idea for the command was originated in this statalist discussion. A big thank you to all contributors creating commands for the Stata community, especially in SSC! Without your time and effort, this command would be useless.
