-# Repositories
-
-This chapter will explain the concept of packages and repositories, what kinds
-of repositories are available, and how they work.
-
-## Concepts
-
-Before we look at the different types of repositories that exist, we need to
-understand some of the basic concepts that Composer is built on.
-
-### Package
-
-Composer is a dependency manager. It installs packages locally. A package is
-essentially a directory containing something. In this case it is PHP
-code, but in theory it could be anything. And it contains a package
-description which has a name and a version. The name and the version are used
-to identify the package.
-
-In fact, internally Composer sees every version as a separate package. While
-this distinction does not matter when you are using Composer, it's quite
-important when you want to change it.
-
-In addition to the name and the version, there is useful metadata. The
-information most relevant for installation is the source definition, which
-describes where to get the package contents. The package data points to the
-contents of the package. And there are two options here: dist and source.
-
-**Dist:** The dist is a packaged version of the package data. Usually a
-released version, usually a stable release.
-
-**Source:** The source is used for development. This will usually originate
-from a source code repository, such as git. You can fetch this when you want
-to modify the downloaded package.
-
-Packages can supply either of these, or even both. Depending on certain
-factors, such as user-supplied options and stability of the package, one will
-be preferred.
-
-### Repository
-
-A repository is a package source. It's a list of packages/versions. Composer
-will look in all your repositories to find the packages your project requires.
-
-By default only the Packagist repository is registered in Composer. You can
-add more repositories to your project by declaring them in `composer.json`.
-
-Repositories are only available to the root package and the repositories
-defined in your dependencies will not be loaded. Read the
-[FAQ entry](faqs/why-can't-composer-load-repositories-recursively.md) if you
-want to learn why.
-
-## Types
-
-### Composer
-
-The main repository type is the `composer` repository. It uses a single
-`packages.json` file that contains all of the package metadata.
-
-This is also the repository type that packagist uses. To reference a
-`composer` repository, supply the path before the `packages.json` file.
-In the case of packagist, that file is located at `/packages.json`, so the URL of
-the repository would be `repo.packagist.org`. For `example.org/packages.json` the
-repository URL would be `example.org`.
-
-#### packages
-
-The only required field is `packages`. The JSON structure is as follows:
-
-```json
-{
-    "packages": {
-        "vendor/package-name": {
-            "dev-master": { @composer.json },
-            "1.0.x-dev": { @composer.json },
-            "0.0.1": { @composer.json },
-            "1.0.0": { @composer.json }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-The `@composer.json` marker would be the contents of the `composer.json` from
-that package version including as a minimum:
-
-* name
-* version
-* dist or source
-
-Here is a minimal package definition:
-
-```json
-{
-    "name": "smarty/smarty",
-    "version": "3.1.7",
-    "dist": {
-        "url": "https://www.smarty.net/files/Smarty-3.1.7.zip",
-        "type": "zip"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-It may include any of the other fields specified in the [schema](04-schema.md).
-
-#### notify-batch
-
-The `notify-batch` field allows you to specify a URL that will be called
-every time a user installs a package. The URL can be either an absolute path
-(that will use the same domain as the repository) or a fully qualified URL.
-
-An example value:
-
-```json
-{
-    "notify-batch": "/downloads/"
-}
-```
-
-For `example.org/packages.json` containing a `monolog/monolog` package, this
-would send a `POST` request to `example.org/downloads/` with following
-JSON request body:
-
-```json
-{
-    "downloads": [
-        {"name": "monolog/monolog", "version": "1.2.1.0"}
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-The version field will contain the normalized representation of the version
-number.
-
-This field is optional.
-
-#### provider-includes and providers-url
-
-The `provider-includes` field allows you to list a set of files that list
-package names provided by this repository. The hash should be a sha256 of
-the files in this case.
-
-The `providers-url` describes how provider files are found on the server. It
-is an absolute path from the repository root. It must contain the placeholders
-`%package%` and `%hash%`.
-
-An example:
-
-```json
-{
-    "provider-includes": {
-        "providers-a.json": {
-            "sha256": "f5b4bc0b354108ef08614e569c1ed01a2782e67641744864a74e788982886f4c"
-        },
-        "providers-b.json": {
-            "sha256": "b38372163fac0573053536f5b8ef11b86f804ea8b016d239e706191203f6efac"
-        }
-    },
-    "providers-url": "/p/%package%$%hash%.json"
-}
-```
-
-Those files contain lists of package names and hashes to verify the file
-integrity, for example:
-
-```json
-{
-    "providers": {
-        "acme/foo": {
-            "sha256": "38968de1305c2e17f4de33aea164515bc787c42c7e2d6e25948539a14268bb82"
-        },
-        "acme/bar": {
-            "sha256": "4dd24c930bd6e1103251306d6336ac813b563a220d9ca14f4743c032fb047233"
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-The file above declares that acme/foo and acme/bar can be found in this
-repository, by loading the file referenced by `providers-url`, replacing
-`%package%` by the vendor namespaced package name and `%hash%` by the
-sha256 field. Those files themselves contain package definitions as
-described [above](#packages).
-
-These fields are optional. You probably don't need them for your own custom
-repository.
-
-#### stream options
-
-The `packages.json` file is loaded using a PHP stream. You can set extra
-options on that stream using the `options` parameter. You can set any valid
-PHP stream context option. See [Context options and
-parameters](https://php.net/manual/en/context.php) for more information.
-
-### VCS
-
-VCS stands for version control system. This includes versioning systems like
-git, svn, fossil or hg. Composer has a repository type for installing packages
-from these systems.
-
-#### Loading a package from a VCS repository
-
-There are a few use cases for this. The most common one is maintaining your
-own fork of a third party library. If you are using a certain library for your
-project and you decide to change something in the library, you will want your
-project to use the patched version. If the library is on GitHub (this is the
-case most of the time), you can simply fork it there and push your changes to
-your fork. After that you update the project's `composer.json`. All you have
-to do is add your fork as a repository and update the version constraint to
-point to your custom branch. In `composer.json`, you should prefix your custom
-branch name with `"dev-"`. For version constraint naming conventions see
-[Libraries](02-libraries.md) for more information.
-
-Example assuming you patched monolog to fix a bug in the `bugfix` branch:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "vcs",
-            "url": "https://github.com/igorw/monolog"
-        }
-    ],
-    "require": {
-        "monolog/monolog": "dev-bugfix"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-When you run `php composer.phar update`, you should get your modified version
-of `monolog/monolog` instead of the one from packagist.
-
-Note that you should not rename the package unless you really intend to fork
-it in the long term, and completely move away from the original package.
-Composer will correctly pick your package over the original one since the
-custom repository has priority over packagist. If you want to rename the
-package, you should do so in the default (often master) branch and not in a
-feature branch, since the package name is taken from the default branch.
-
-Also note that the override will not work if you change the `name` property
-in your forked repository's `composer.json` file as this needs to match the
-original for the override to work.
-
-If other dependencies rely on the package you forked, it is possible to
-inline-alias it so that it matches a constraint that it otherwise would not.
-For more information [see the aliases article](articles/aliases.md).
-
-#### Using private repositories
-
-Exactly the same solution allows you to work with your private repositories at
-GitHub and BitBucket:
-
-```json
-{
-    "require": {
-        "vendor/my-private-repo": "dev-master"
-    },
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "vcs",
-            "url":  "git@bitbucket.org:vendor/my-private-repo.git"
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-The only requirement is the installation of SSH keys for a git client.
-
-#### Git alternatives
-
-Git is not the only version control system supported by the VCS repository.
-The following are supported:
-
-* **Git:** [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com)
-* **Subversion:** [subversion.apache.org](https://subversion.apache.org)
-* **Mercurial:** [mercurial-scm.org](https://www.mercurial-scm.org)
-* **Fossil**: [fossil-scm.org](https://www.fossil-scm.org/)
-
-To get packages from these systems you need to have their respective clients
-installed. That can be inconvenient. And for this reason there is special
-support for GitHub and BitBucket that use the APIs provided by these sites, to
-fetch the packages without having to install the version control system. The
-VCS repository provides `dist`s for them that fetch the packages as zips.
-
-* **GitHub:** [github.com](https://github.com) (Git)
-* **BitBucket:** [bitbucket.org](https://bitbucket.org) (Git and Mercurial)
-
-The VCS driver to be used is detected automatically based on the URL. However,
-should you need to specify one for whatever reason, you can use `git-bitbucket`,
-`hg-bitbucket`, `github`, `gitlab`, `perforce`, `fossil`, `git`, `svn` or `hg`
-as the repository type instead of `vcs`.
-
-If you set the `no-api` key to `true` on a github repository it will clone the
-repository as it would with any other git repository instead of using the
-GitHub API. But unlike using the `git` driver directly, Composer will still
-attempt to use github's zip files.
-
-Please note:
-* **To let Composer choose which driver to use** the repository type needs to be defined as "vcs"
-* **If you already used a private repository**, this means Composer should have cloned it in cache. If you want to install the same package with drivers, remember to launch the command `composer clearcache` followed by the command `composer update` to update composer cache and install the package from dist.
-
-#### BitBucket Driver Configuration
-
-The BitBucket driver uses OAuth to access your private repositories via the BitBucket REST APIs and you will need to create an OAuth consumer to use the driver, please refer to [Atlassian's Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/oauth-on-bitbucket-cloud-238027431.html). You will need to fill the callback url with something to satisfy BitBucket, but the address does not need to go anywhere and is not used by Composer.
-
-After creating an OAuth consumer in the BitBucket control panel, you need to setup your auth.json file with
-the credentials like this (more info [here](https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md#bitbucket-oauth)):
-```json
-{
-    "bitbucket-oauth": {
-        "bitbucket.org": {
-            "consumer-key": "myKey",
-            "consumer-secret": "mySecret"
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-**Note that the repository endpoint needs to be https rather than git.**
-
-Alternatively if you prefer not to have your OAuth credentials on your filesystem you may export the ```bitbucket-oauth``` block above to the [COMPOSER_AUTH](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#composer-auth) environment variable instead.
-
-#### Subversion Options
-
-Since Subversion has no native concept of branches and tags, Composer assumes
-by default that code is located in `$url/trunk`, `$url/branches` and
-`$url/tags`. If your repository has a different layout you can change those
-values. For example if you used capitalized names you could configure the
-repository like this:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "vcs",
-            "url": "http://svn.example.org/projectA/",
-            "trunk-path": "Trunk",
-            "branches-path": "Branches",
-            "tags-path": "Tags"
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-If you have no branches or tags directory you can disable them entirely by
-setting the `branches-path` or `tags-path` to `false`.
-
-If the package is in a sub-directory, e.g. `/trunk/foo/bar/composer.json` and
-`/tags/1.0/foo/bar/composer.json`, then you can make Composer access it by
-setting the `"package-path"` option to the sub-directory, in this example it
-would be `"package-path": "foo/bar/"`.
-
-If you have a private Subversion repository you can save credentials in the
-http-basic section of your config (See [Schema](04-schema.md)):
-
-```json
-{
-    "http-basic": {
-        "svn.example.org": {
-            "username": "username",
-            "password": "password"
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-If your Subversion client is configured to store credentials by default these
-credentials will be saved for the current user and existing saved credentials
-for this server will be overwritten. To change this behavior by setting the
-`"svn-cache-credentials"` option in your repository configuration:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "vcs",
-            "url": "http://svn.example.org/projectA/",
-            "svn-cache-credentials": false
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-### PEAR
-
-It is possible to install packages from any PEAR channel by using the `pear`
-repository. Composer will prefix all package names with `pear-{channelName}/`
-to avoid conflicts. All packages are also aliased with prefix
-`pear-{channelAlias}/`.
-
-Example using `pear2.php.net`:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "pear",
-            "url": "https://pear2.php.net"
-        }
-    ],
-    "require": {
-        "pear-pear2.php.net/PEAR2_Text_Markdown": "*",
-        "pear-pear2/PEAR2_HTTP_Request": "*"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-In this case the short name of the channel is `pear2`, so the
-`PEAR2_HTTP_Request` package name becomes `pear-pear2/PEAR2_HTTP_Request`.
-
-> **Note:** The `pear` repository requires doing quite a few requests per
-> package, so this may considerably slow down the installation process.
-
-#### Custom vendor alias
-
-It is possible to alias PEAR channel packages with a custom vendor name.
-
-Example:
-
-Suppose you have a private PEAR repository and wish to use Composer to
-incorporate dependencies from a VCS. Your PEAR repository contains the
-following packages:
-
- * `BasePackage`
- * `IntermediatePackage`, which depends on `BasePackage`
- * `TopLevelPackage1` and `TopLevelPackage2` which both depend
-    on `IntermediatePackage`
-
-Without a vendor alias, Composer will use the PEAR channel name as the
-vendor portion of the package name:
-
- * `pear-pear.foobar.repo/BasePackage`
- * `pear-pear.foobar.repo/IntermediatePackage`
- * `pear-pear.foobar.repo/TopLevelPackage1`
- * `pear-pear.foobar.repo/TopLevelPackage2`
-
-Suppose at a later time you wish to migrate your PEAR packages to a
-Composer repository and naming scheme, and adopt the vendor name of `foobar`.
-Projects using your PEAR packages would not see the updated packages, since
-they have a different vendor name (`foobar/IntermediatePackage` vs
-`pear-pear.foobar.repo/IntermediatePackage`).
-
-By specifying `vendor-alias` for the PEAR repository from the start, you can
-avoid this scenario and future-proof your package names.
-
-To illustrate, the following example would get the `BasePackage`,
-`TopLevelPackage1`, and `TopLevelPackage2` packages from your PEAR repository
-and `IntermediatePackage` from a Github repository:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "git",
-            "url": "https://github.com/foobar/intermediate.git"
-        },
-        {
-            "type": "pear",
-            "url": "http://pear.foobar.repo",
-            "vendor-alias": "foobar"
-        }
-    ],
-    "require": {
-        "foobar/TopLevelPackage1": "*",
-        "foobar/TopLevelPackage2": "*"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Package
-
-If you want to use a project that does not support Composer through any of the
-means above, you still can define the package yourself by using a `package`
-repository.
-
-Basically, you define the same information that is included in the `composer`
-repository's `packages.json`, but only for a single package. Again, the
-minimum required fields are `name`, `version`, and either of `dist` or
-`source`.
-
-Here is an example for the smarty template engine:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "package",
-            "package": {
-                "name": "smarty/smarty",
-                "version": "3.1.7",
-                "dist": {
-                    "url": "https://www.smarty.net/files/Smarty-3.1.7.zip",
-                    "type": "zip"
-                },
-                "source": {
-                    "url": "http://smarty-php.googlecode.com/svn/",
-                    "type": "svn",
-                    "reference": "tags/Smarty_3_1_7/distribution/"
-                },
-                "autoload": {
-                    "classmap": ["libs/"]
-                }
-            }
-        }
-    ],
-    "require": {
-        "smarty/smarty": "3.1.*"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Typically you would leave the source part off, as you don't really need it.
-
-> **Note**: This repository type has a few limitations and should be avoided
-> whenever possible:
->
-> - Composer will not update the package unless you change the `version` field.
-> - Composer will not update the commit references, so if you use `master` as
->   reference you will have to delete the package to force an update, and will
->   have to deal with an unstable lock file.
-
-The `"package"` key in a `package` repository may be set to an array to define multiple versions of a package:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "package",
-            "package": [
-                {
-                    "name": "foo/bar",
-                    "version": "1.0.0",
-                    ...
-                },
-                {
-                    "name": "foo/bar",
-                    "version": "2.0.0",
-                    ...
-                }
-            ]
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-## Hosting your own
-
-While you will probably want to put your packages on packagist most of the
-time, there are some use cases for hosting your own repository.
-
-* **Private company packages:** If you are part of a company that uses Composer
-  for their packages internally, you might want to keep those packages private.
-
-* **Separate ecosystem:** If you have a project which has its own ecosystem,
-  and the packages aren't really reusable by the greater PHP community, you
-  might want to keep them separate to packagist. An example of this would be
-  wordpress plugins.
-
-For hosting your own packages, a native `composer` type of repository is
-recommended, which provides the best performance.
-
-There are a few tools that can help you create a `composer` repository.
-
-### Private Packagist
-
-[Private Packagist](https://packagist.com/) is a hosted or self-hosted
-application providing private package hosting as well as mirroring of
-GitHub, Packagist.org and other package repositories.
-
-Check out [Packagist.com](https://packagist.com/) for more information.
-
-### Satis
-
-Satis is a static `composer` repository generator. It is a bit like an ultra-
-lightweight, static file-based version of packagist.
-
-You give it a `composer.json` containing repositories, typically VCS and
-package repository definitions. It will fetch all the packages that are
-`require`d and dump a `packages.json` that is your `composer` repository.
-
-Check [the satis GitHub repository](https://github.com/composer/satis) and
-the [Satis article](articles/handling-private-packages-with-satis.md) for more
-information.
-
-### Artifact
-
-There are some cases, when there is no ability to have one of the previously
-mentioned repository types online, even the VCS one. Typical example could be
-cross-organisation library exchange through built artifacts. Of course, most
-of the times they are private. To simplify maintenance, one can simply use a
-repository of type `artifact` with a folder containing ZIP archives of those
-private packages:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "artifact",
-            "url": "path/to/directory/with/zips/"
-        }
-    ],
-    "require": {
-        "private-vendor-one/core": "15.6.2",
-        "private-vendor-two/connectivity": "*",
-        "acme-corp/parser": "10.3.5"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Each zip artifact is a ZIP archive with `composer.json` in root folder:
-
-```sh
-unzip -l acme-corp-parser-10.3.5.zip
-
-composer.json
-...
-```
-
-If there are two archives with different versions of a package, they are both
-imported. When an archive with a newer version is added in the artifact folder
-and you run `update`, that version will be imported as well and Composer will
-update to the latest version.
-
-### Path
-
-In addition to the artifact repository, you can use the path one, which allows
-you to depend on a local directory, either absolute or relative. This can be
-especially useful when dealing with monolithic repositories.
-
-For instance, if you have the following directory structure in your repository:
-```
-- apps
-\_ my-app
-  \_ composer.json
-- packages
-\_ my-package
-  \_ composer.json
-```
-
-Then, to add the package `my/package` as a dependency, in your
-`apps/my-app/composer.json` file, you can use the following configuration:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "path",
-            "url": "../../packages/my-package"
-        }
-    ],
-    "require": {
-        "my/package": "*"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-If the package is a local VCS repository, the version may be inferred by
-the branch or tag that is currently checked out. Otherwise, the version should
-be explicitly defined in the package's `composer.json` file. If the version
-cannot be resolved by these means, it is assumed to be `dev-master`.
-
-The local package will be symlinked if possible, in which case the output in
-the console will read `Symlinking from ../../packages/my-package`. If symlinking
-is _not_ possible the package will be copied. In that case, the console will
-output `Mirrored from ../../packages/my-package`.
-
-Instead of default fallback strategy you can force to use symlink with
-`"symlink": true` or mirroring with `"symlink": false` option. Forcing
-mirroring can be useful when deploying or generating package from a
-monolithic repository.
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "path",
-            "url": "../../packages/my-package",
-            "options": {
-                "symlink": false
-            }
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-Leading tildes are expanded to the current user's home folder, and environment
-variables are parsed in both Windows and Linux/Mac notations. For example
-`~/git/mypackage` will automatically load the mypackage clone from
-`/home/<username>/git/mypackage`, equivalent to `$HOME/git/mypackage` or
-`%USERPROFILE%/git/mypackage`.
-
-> **Note:** Repository paths can also contain wildcards like ``*`` and ``?``.

-## Disabling Packagist.org
-
-You can disable the default Packagist.org repository by adding this to your
-`composer.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "packagist.org": false
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-You can disable Packagist.org globally by using the global config flag:
-
-```bash
-composer config -g repo.packagist false
-```
