It enables clean, distribution-like installs even when directly referencing VCS sources, helping maintain a tidy `vendor/` with only the intended files from each package. Features -------- [](#features) - Applies `.gitattributes` `export-ignore` rules to packages installed from VCS repositories - Ensures only distribution-ready files are present in `vendor/` - Works automatically during Composer install/update - No configuration required for standard usage Installation ------------ [](#installation) Add the plugin to your project using Composer: ``` composer require --dev sunaoka/composer-vcs-export-plugin ``` Or ``` composer global require sunaoka/composer-vcs-export-plugin ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) No additional configuration is needed. When you install or update packages from VCS repositories (e.g., via the `repositories` section in your `composer.json`), this plugin will: - Detect if the package was installed from a Git repository - Use `git archive` to export files, respecting `.gitattributes` `export-ignore` rules - Replace the package directory in `vendor/` with the exported contents Example ------- [](#example) **composer.json:** ``` { "repositories": [ { "type": "vcs", "url": "https://example.com/your-vendor/your-library.git" } ], "require": { "your-vendor/your-library": "^1.0", "sunaoka/composer-vcs-export-plugin": "^1.0" }, "config": { "allow-plugins": { "sunaoka/composer-vcs-export-plugin": true } } } ``` With this setup, only the files not marked with `export-ignore` in `.gitattributes` will be present in `vendor/your-vendor/your-library`. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.2.5 or later - Composer 2.x - `git` and `unzip` command available in the system environment Limitations ----------- [](#limitations) - Only works with Git repositories - Requires the `.git` directory to be present in the installed package (i.e., VCS install, not dist) - May not work on environments where `git archive` or `unzip` are unavailable (e.g., some Windows setups) - Does not affect packages installed via dist (zip/tarball) ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 60% of packages Maintenance58 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity33 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
