Makes your drupal updates use less memory and time.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Just require it in your Drupal project like a normal package:

```
composer require eiriksm/drupal-package-cleaner

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

There is no configuration. Currently the only thing it does, is filter out packages we know we don't need if you are requiring a specific version of `drupal/core-recommended`. Like for example so:

```
composer require drupal/core-recommended:8.7.1 --update-with-dependencies

```
