Description

The ability to more easily see what are test-only dependencies for modules is a common request for cmd/go.

Consider supporting it here, either by highlighting a test-only dependency or by highlighting a non-test dependency.

There are different ways to determine this, but one way is this, which shows the modules used in your build excluding test-only dependencies:

go list -deps -f '{{with .Module}}{{.Path}} {{.Version}}{{end}}' ./... | sort -u

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by comparing depaware's current dependency output with the provided go list -deps -f ... ./... | sort -u command, then determine how test-only dependencies should be identified and displayed. Done means the tool clearly distinguishes test-only from non-test dependencies.
