I'd say sbt-git is essential too, given how much time a typical Scala dev will spent at an sbt prompt.

Thanks for your contribution to the list @derekmorr!

I think it depends on how and to which extend you use git. I've checked it out and I've noticed it doesn't autocomplete commands, files, etc. And there isn't support for interactive commands such as git add -p, for instance. On the other hand, it can be helpful to automate versioning management.

That said, you are not limited to use it along with the standard git command, so you can get the best of both modes.

Cheers!

I would add sbt-assembly and sbt-lock to the list.

sbt-revolver is also very convenient when writing server-based apps (Spray / akka-http).
I also often use sbt-buildinfo.

It's good to know in case I might need them, thanks @ozeebee!

https://github.com/spray/sbt-revolver is no supported for SBT 1.x, someone knows an alternative ? ... or even some tips to upgrade it to SBT 1.x ?
