This composer plugin allows you to share **your selected packages between your projects by creating symlinks**.
All shared packages will be in the same dedicated directory for all of your projects (ordered by versions) and a symlink directory container will be created on your projects (`vendor-shared` by default).

**This plugin will improve your work process** to avoid to work into the `vendor` folder or to avoid to force you to push your package to work/test it with another project.

A shared package is flagged by two ways :

- By setting the `composer.json` package `type` to `shared-package` *(the `
