Is it possible to add dependencies to sublime-extensions?

Question

I'm building a sublime extension that imports git from sublimeGit:

import git

I do it to define what git repo and branch I am in etc.

Is this suitable and in that case, can you define the dependency somehow in the plugin. to let package-manager etc know that this won't work without git?

Answer 1

You can define dependecies for PackageControll by putting file

dependencies.json

to extension/plugin/Package directory.

See bottom of PackageControl docs

Answer 2

As long as the git module is installed, you can import it in your own plugin code. However, there is no way currently to define dependencies in Package Control, other than putting a great big notice in your README and messages.json file that it's required for proper functioning of your plugin.
