Composer life hacks
Composer life hacks Switching between composer 1 & 2: composer self-update --1 --> switch to composer 1 composer self-update --2 --> switch to composer 2 If you only want to install, upgrade or remove one dependency, you can explicitly list it as an argument: php composer.phar update monolog/monolog [...] composer dump-env dev - will generate .env.local.php (which you can change with your needs) Installing tools globally: php composer.phar global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer or just composer global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer
