[](#garoevans-composer-sym-)

Current version: 0.7.11

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run;

`./vendor/bin/composer-sym link`

from your projects root.

Other methods;

- link: Loop through your composer.json and see what we can link for you.
- unlink: Give you the option of unlinking any packages we've linked.
- help: List of methods and params.
- getGuessedProjectDir: What we think your project directory is.
- getGuessedHomeDir: What we think you home directory is.

Compser Sym assumes a `vendor/package` structure, so if your project is located in `/home/foo/bar` we will assume that `/home` is your home directory (root of all packages).

Composer
--------

[](#composer)

`"require": { "garoevans/composer-sym": "0.7.*" }`

Due to one of the dependencies Composer Sym also requires the minimum stability to be set to dev;

`"minimum-stability": "dev"`
