> ⚠️ **ARCHIVED** ⚠️
>
> This repository contains a PoC implemenation of a composer plugin which aimed to provide a custom command to integrate phive into composer. The idea though was abandoned and this repository now only remains as a read-only view in case anyone wants to have a look at the source code.
>
> **DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION** - It's unsupported, likely insecure and may not even work with current versions of composer ⚠️
