Nuget Ninja

Nuget Ninja is a tool for detecting dependencies of .NET projects. It analyzes the dependency structure of .NET projects in a directory and builds a directed acyclic graph. And will give some modification suggestions for Nuget packages, so that the dependencies of the project are as concise and up-to-date as possible.
