README

Composer Insights is a CLI tool that analyzes your PHP project's composer dependencies and provides insightful GitHub and Packagist statistics for each top-level dependency.

• 🧹 Clean tabular output in the terminal
• 🛑 Gracefully skips non-GitHub packages
• ⚡ Fast, dependency-free CLI experience

💡Example Output

📥 Installation

You can install it in any Composer-based local PHP project as dev dependency:

composer require composer-insights/composer-insights --dev

Make sure your project has both composer.json and composer.lock files.

To avoid GitHub API rate limits and to enable access to private repos, set your GitHub token as an environment variable:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token

You can generate a personal access token from https://github.com/settings/tokens
