Something fishy with the dependency graph on this… How is this a dependency of peoples webdev school work?

It seems like an issue with the way GitHub populates the dependency list. I believe all of those repos are actually dependent on the package named "sol" in NPM:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/sol

Probably because students don’t know any better. The instructor was probably teaching them how to “npm install” and uses “sol” as an example.
If you check the package.lock file it’s listed in there for each of those projects.

yeah, Github uses that package.lock to walk the dependency tree. Seems like an easy way to get your project hoisted.

I did not understand what you mean. Can you elaborate?
