  to activate and deactivate the current bin directory in shell.

  Usage:

      php composer.phar venv:shell

  After this you can source the activation-script
  corresponding to your shell.

  if only one shell-activator or bash and zsh have been deployed:
      source vendor/bin/activate

  csh:
      source vendor/bin/activate.csh

  fish:
      . vendor/bin/activate.fish

  bash (alternative):
      source vendor/bin/activate.bash

  zsh (alternative):
      source vendor/bin/activate.zsh

```

Help:
  The virtual-environment:shell-hook command manages
  shell-hooks residing in the .composer-venv/shell directory.

  Examples:

  Simple shell script running in the detected shell only

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --script='composer run-script xyz'

  Simple shell script running in all shells

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --script='composer run-script xyz' \
          --shell=sh

  Utilizing environment variable expansion

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --script='echo "I am using a %SHELL%!"' \
          --shell='%SHELL%'

  Utilizing configuration value expansion

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --script='{$bin-dir}/php -r \'require "{$vendor-dir}/autoload.php"; Namespace\\Classname::staticMethod();\''

  Import file from relative path

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --file=relative/path/to/post-activate.hook

  Import file from absolute path

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --file=/absolute/path/to/post-activate.hook

  Create symlink to file

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --link=../../path/to/post-activate.hook

  Relative hook file URL

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --url=file://relative/path/to/post-activate.hook

  Absolute hook file URL

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --url=file:///absolute/path/to/post-activate.hook

  Download hook file from an URL

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --url=https://some.host/post-activate.hook

  Using a built-in hook file URL

      php composer.phar venv:shell-hook post-activate \
          --url=vfs://venv/shell-hook/post-activate.hook

```

### Symbolic Link Command

[](#symbolic-link-command)

```
$ php composer.phar help venv:link

                                 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

Help:
  The virtual-environment:link command places symlinks
  to php- and composer-binaries in the bin directory.

  Example:

      php composer.phar venv:link '{$bin-dir}/composer':'{$bin-dir-up}/composer.phar'

  After this you can use the linked binaries in composer
  run-script or in virtual-environment:shell.

  Attention: only link the composer like in the example above,
  if your project does not require the composer/composer package.

```

  -v|vv|vvv, --verbose           Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output,
                                 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

Help:
  The virtual-environment:git-hook command manages
  git-hooks residing in the .git/hooks directory.

  Examples:

  Simple shell script using default shebang "#!/bin/sh"

      php composer.phar venv:git-hook pre-commit \
          --script='composer run-script xyz'

  Shell script with a more complex shebang

      php composer.phar venv:git-hook pre-commit \
          --shebang='/usr/bin/env bash' \
          --script='echo "about to commit"'

  Simple PHP script

      # notice the detection of the correct shebang
      php composer.phar venv:git-hook pre-commit \
          --script='
