In Depth Composer
summary
Explains concrete Composer workflow tricks: how composer global installs CLI tools, how to commit composer.lock for repeatable deployments and speed, how to alias a forked branch to satisfy dependency constraints, and when to use preferred-source or --dry-run. Covers repository ordering, stability rules, autoload -o tradeoffs, and the diagnose/self-update troubleshooting steps plus a simple private-packages build. Practical fixes and commands, not high-level philosophy.
