How do you imagine you would do it with GitHub?

Download and upload files to their places

and what happen when there’s new updates?

I like docker but there’s no need to mess with it in this case

Scripts. Auto download, auto extract. Auto move. Like my current ad removal dns

I am happy I’m not alone here also. It consumes too much of resources

just to be clear, what kind of scripts are you referring to?

#!/bin/bash
And cron
Cheching for updates and performing update if tests are good

Ok cool

So you have to write a script, run a cron, check for updates for every single files you download from GitHub

Not for every. Yet it is pretty hard work for sure

exactly

That’s me). 8 years ago)

Composer allows you to monitor all the files you installed in a nut shell. and helps you update it/ install it

in a very easy manner

like “composer install” “composer update”

Yet not. –force is not canceled. And “warnings” is not good for sure

so you dont have to write the bash script on your own,

The idea is that with so many packages installed in your projects, it’s hard to keep track of all.

So composer does that for you and give you as much indicator as possible on projects that’s about to be “dead” etc etc..

But these are more like features..

The key thing composer does is to allow you to manage your packages.

That is what I am scared about. Before I had to take care and investigate few foreign scripts. For now. I have to use 79 scripts (said by composer) from scratch

Sure, we live in a dependencies world now lol

you cna always write everything from scratch on your own, going back to the dinosaurs age. But it’s the trade off I guess

and it’s happening in all programming language lol

Because sometimes, it’s just wiser not to reinvent the wheel

It’s may be my profession. I was a security admin before. Taking care no info leaks from either users or software.

I see.

That’s not a good reason to switch though

Well for me.. I’m usually cautious when installing third party libraries too.

For Laravel’s framework dependency. I’ll leave that to the Laravel team to manage

for my own, I usually look at the stars, how active is it maintained before I decide if I want to use it.

I see. OK. It’s not a drinking fags meeting. I am over it, yet for you to understand my pov.

If the feature is quite simple, sometimes I will still write my own code instead of using Third Party.

If it is OK and acceptable so third-party code is used. It’s ok
