Wait, what? Well, usually whenever you require a development tool via `composer require --dev` that tool will influence your dependency tree as all the dependencies of your tool now become dependencies of your project. So whenever you require a lot of dev-dependencies that makes dependencies-resolving much more complicated as the dependencies of those dev-dependencies suddenly need to match your projects dependencies as well. To circumvent that you can use the phar-versions of the tools you are using. Those are like binary files that do not influence your dependencies at all. The tool to use for managing those PHAR files is [PHIVE](https://phar.io). PHIVE not only allows you to install your CI tools without influencing your dependencies, it also comes with signature check on board so that you can be absolutely sure that only tools with correct digital signatures (if available) are installed. But now you have to handle 2 different tools to get your dependencies and your tools up-to-date. This plugin tries to fix that by updating your PHIVE-installed tools everytime you do a `composer update`. So you now only need to update one tool and the other one is updated automatically. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Obviously this is installed using Composer. ``` composer require --dev bitexpert/composer-phive-bridge ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) After the package is installed, there is nothing more you need to do. On the next `composer update` the plugin will check for `phive` and if it is not installed, it will install `phive` in the current folder and then run `phive install` to install all tools. If you want to add a new tool, run `phive install ` according to the [PHIVE documentation](https://phar.io) ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 49% of packages Maintenance17 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 66.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
