Great tool!

I used:

gem install specific_install

gem specific_install -l :leftathome/depgraph.git

Guess I'm too stupid to install it...

In my `Gemfile`:

```

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'depgraph', git: 'https://github.com/leftathome/depgraph.git'

```

Then I run:

```

D:\Repos\_github\_cookbooks\gitlab>bundle install

Could not find gem 'depgraph (>= 0) x86-mingw32' in

https://github.com/leftathome/depgraph.git (at master).

Source does not contain any versions of 'depgraph (>= 0) x86-mingw32'

```

Is it supposed to be installed as a gem? 

Not a Ruby expert, but I don't see a .gemspec there. Might this be the problem?

Not sure if anyone's already doing something like this, but I made some REALLY MINOR modifications to the most ancient and venerable Ruby depgraph tool and got it parsing cookbook metadata instead of C# code and installed gems.

Default behavior is to parse, fire up graphviz and show you a dependency graph.  That's fine but I wanted it as a JSON object.

I added the -json switch to allow you to generate an object that looks like this:

{ "cookbook" : [ "dependency1", "dependency2"],

 ...

}

Hope someone out there finds this useful.
