 - `bin/analyse`: Run `phpstan analyse` within the container to statically analyse code, passing in directory to analyse. Ex. `bin/analyse app/code`
 - `bin/bash`: Drop into the bash prompt of your Docker container. The `phpfpm` container should be mainly used to access the filesystem within Docker.
 - `bin/cache-clean`: Access the [cache-clean](https://github.com/mage2tv/magento-cache-clean) CLI. Note the watcher is automatically started at startup in `bin/start`. Ex. `bin/cache-clean config full_page`
+- `bin/check-dependencies`: Provides helpful recommendations for dependencies tailored to the chosen Magento version.
 - `bin/cli`: Run any CLI command without going into the bash prompt. Ex. `bin/cli ls`
 - `bin/clinotty`: Run any CLI command with no TTY. Ex. `bin/clinotty chmod u+x bin/magento`
 - `bin/cliq`: The same as `bin/cli`, but pipes all output to `/dev/null`. Useful for a quiet CLI, or implementing long-running processes.
