composer-merge-bypass-plugin
----------------------------

[](#composer-merge-bypass-plugin)

Globally install this composer plugin, and if you ever run `composer update --lock` on a repository that has active merge conflicts in the `composer.lock` or `vendor/composer/installed.json`, then this will use a stream wrapper to rewrite the contents to a temporary file and load those instead of the real merge conflicted file, allowing composer to load the lock file even though it will has invalid json.

### Usage

[](#usage)

`composer global require "spencermalone/composer-merge-bypass-plugin 0.0.2"`

If you ever run into a merge conflict on `composer.lock` or `vendor/composer/installed.json`, you can just `composer update --lock` with the merge conflicts still in place, and the "right thing" will happen (ie, it'll use a version of those files without any invalid characters and regenerate the contents)

### Honorable Mention

[](#honorable-mention)

Much of this is based on , but applied to composer lock/json files instead of PHP source code.
