mamba-repoquery: Print packages in the current environment that require a particular package to be installed (i.e. inverse of `depends`).

mamba

$ mamba repoquery whoneeds ${ipython}

try on your machine

This command is using the "mamba" package manager to run the "repoquery" command with the argument "whoneeds" and a specified package called "${ipython}".

The "mamba" package manager is a high-performance package manager that can be used as an alternative to "conda" package manager in Python environments.

"repoquery" is a command-line tool used for querying package repositories. It allows you to search and obtain information about packages, such as dependencies, file ownership, and which packages depend on a particular package.

The "whoneeds" argument of "repoquery" is used to find and display a list of packages that depend on a specific package (in this case, "${ipython}"). This will show which packages in the repository require or have a dependency on the specified package.

Thus, the command is used to search for packages in the repository that require the "${ipython}" package as a dependency.
