This plugin won't alter your `composer.json` or `composer.lock` file, while maintaining the composer abilities to manage/upgrade your packages. Installation ------------ [](#installation) This plugin can be installed globally or per project Globally ``` composer global require humweb/composer-link ``` Per project: ``` composer require --dev humweb/composer-link ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) The following three commands are made available by this plugin `link`, `unlink` and `linked`. When the plugin is installed globally you can prefix the commands with `global` as example `composer global linked`and install global packages. To link a package you can use the `link` commands, you can also link a global package. When linked to a global package absolute paths are used, when using a relative path composer-link resolves it to the absolute path. ``` composer link ../path/to/package composer global link ../path/to/package ``` It's also possible to use a wildcard in your path, note that this will install all packages found in the directory `../packages`If you don't want to link all the packages but only the ones originally installed you can pass the `--only-installed` flag. ``` composer link ../packages/* composer link ../packages/* --only-installed ``` To unlink the package you can use the `unlink` command ``` composer unlink ../path/to/package composer inlink ../packages/* composer global link ../path/to/package ``` To see all linked packages in your project you can use the `linked` command ``` composer linked composer global linked ``` ### Health Score 20 — LowBetter than 14% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity40 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 74.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
