Become a Hex Power User
summary
Explains how Hex actually behaves: shows mix hex info to inspect releases and build/version metadata, mix hex search and mix hex docs to find and open package docs (including mix hex fetch for offline copies), and mix hex outdated/mix hex audit to find retired or incompatible deps. Gives concrete counts (about 5,700 public packages then), naming and license rules, organization/private repo flow, and live demos that reveal which commands return useful output and which cause gotchas.
