Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.
Reporting Issues
When reporting issues, please try to be as descriptive as possible, and include as much relevant information as you can. A step by step guide on how to reproduce the issue will greatly increase the chances of your issue being resolved in a timely manner.
For example, if you are experiencing a problem while running one of the
commands, please provide full output of said command in very very verbose mode
(-vvv
, e.g. composer install -vvv
).
If your issue involves installing, updating or resolving dependencies, the
chance of us being able to reproduce your issue will be much higher if you
share your composer.json
with us.
Coding Style Fixes
We do not accept CS fixes pull requests. Fixes are done by the project maintainers when appropriate to avoid causing too many unnecessary conflicts between branches and pull requests.
Security Reports
Please send any sensitive issue to security@packagist.org. Thanks!
Installation from Source
Prior to contributing to Composer, you must be able to run the test suite. To achieve this, you need to acquire the Composer source code:
- Run
git clone https://github.com/composer/composer.git
- Download the
composer.phar
executable - Run Composer to get the dependencies:
cd composer && php ../composer.phar install
You can run the test suite by executing vendor/bin/phpunit
when inside the
composer directory, and run Composer by executing the bin/composer
. To test
your modified Composer code against another project, run php /path/to/composer/bin/composer
inside that project's directory.
Contributing policy
Fork the project, create a feature branch, and send us a pull request.
