README

Use this within your PHP Composer project to develop locally on packages.

Packages are cloned into a separate directory
Symlinked to the original vendor/ location
Use git without it being in detached mode, e.g. to create new branches for the package
You can use composer require to e.g. add dependencies (vendor dir is also symlinked to the original)

Require the package:

composer require bowlofsoup/interlude "^version"

The interlude script should now be in your vendor/bin directory.

Add the following to your .gitignore:

vendor-local/

'Checkout' a package for local development (use sh)

sh vendor/bin/interlude checkout <package>

'Restore' a package to the original

vendor/bin/interlude restore <package>

A shell (Bash) and these Linux or macOS packages:

bowlofsoup / interlude
