title: How to get NuGet package dependency report in Visual Studio 2015?
body: <p>I added just two NuGet  packages to my Console application in VS2015 and due to a chain of dependencies, I ended up having 44 packages added to my project. I can see them in the <code>packages.config</code> file listed below.</p>
  
  <p>The list of packages added to my project seems going out of control!</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get a basic dependency hierarchy list or report of the NuGet packages added to packages.config?</p>
